midnight illusions ~

Most nights she dances alone

   with the maniac in her head

       prancing about allusion's shadow

                   on a wing and a song

     daylight scorches twirling freedom's feathers

          asylum harbors taunting deceptions

                  blistering of sun's betrayal 

          clear night vision through midnight hours

 captivated by gray spatters bliss'd oblivion, 

         alluring sting of cloak'd daggers

              with her sword, she slays the dragons

                 illusion's surrender set free

                      wrapped in delusion's ecstasy

          

dancing faster to catch up............

I love this poem the metaphors are amazing and the imagery really takes me places.

clear night vision through midnight hours
captivated by gray spatters bliss'd oblivion,
alluring sting of cloak'd daggers
with her sword, she slays the dragons

These lines took my breath away.

The contrast between day and night or light and dark are what speak to me most...almost like the night hides all the pain that the day brings so at night she is free.

I was cautious when entering your page this time.. I don't trust you anymore ma'am.. I have to say, this one touched me in more ways than I could explain.. I know exactly what it is like to feel lighter in the darkness, than the blistering light.. To let your spirit dance with the illusion of freedom and the delusion of bliss.. As always, your writing is exquisite and as beautiful as you...

I felt like dancing as I read this today Frieda P. I loved the line "daylight scorches twirling freedom's feathers". That says so much to me. The entire poem was great. I really enjoyed this today.
