Mirage possibilities

There is no hope with the heart.........

I seek Shangri-La

through a desert of mirage possibilities,

a thousand have been here before

now it’s my journey to tread

solitary I carry on

 

who could I tell these cryptic truths to

 

how does a smile have that kind of power

what is wrong with me

 

God

oh  God

 

if only I could tell you what you mean to me

if only my mind’s eye was reality

if only I was blind to your beauty

 

if only

if only

if only

 

truly the heart is my enemy

I was content in ignorant sublimity  

 

then I noticed

your eyes

your mind

your heart

 

God

oh God

 

I am damned by wants

I am damned by desires

 

there is no freedom

alone I continue on

 

hope has left long ago........

Unrequited? That’s probably what the desert ‘whispered’ to my mind’s ear. False hope(s)? That’s what mirages turn into after they dissipate. But for myself, I’m still fascinated by mirages… that may keep me from catching the reality of the situation at hand. A very engaging read 🙏🏻🕊

They are hopes for possibilities that I know dont exist, for someone there is no hope for no matter what my heart wants......
