Confusion of heart

Confusion of heart

A Poem by JRB
"

If the thoughts are false, so are the words that follow, leaving memories lost to time.

"

 

Here it comes again

Penetrating

Thru force of habit

Into my consciousness

As it assaults

My memories

With visions

Of a devastating soul

Held in the undergrowth

Of a mischievous sprite

Fused

With that of a cherub

 

Retelling the story of a soul

In life’s synchronization

As it journeys

In slow motion

Towards its own end

Haphazardly and insubstantially

Moving in verses

Thru beats of confusion

On her emotional canvas

She called life

 

Painting stories

With perverted colors

Attached to deceptive hands

Emotions

Wrapped in a forged heart

Continuously raising false hope

Thru the composition of her words

Of those haunting times

Where the reality she created

Merged into fragments of an imagination

Where fantasy and reality

Where unattainable

To undo her wordiness

 

In this ultimate world of confusion

That she called her life

I lost track of my certainty

While being, drawn into her fantasy

I found myself

Under a muddled story

Staring thru clouded eyes

At the account of her life

Not lived

Not loved

 

Surrounded

In my endless doubts

I found myself

Thoughtless

Silent to my own words

Attached

With disappointments

While fluctuating

Between what is factual

Or unreal

 

Will time persuade

My emotions to restore

My truth of certainty

Do I have the inner force

Time is quickening

While humiliating

My being of person

Nevertheless

You believe

I feel not a thing

 

Because I am,

Extend

Beyond my emotional

Boundaries

Obscured within a thick deposit

Of lies,

Falsehoods and deceptions

I still cry

Although

I ask why no more

 

 

 

Confusion of heart

"Painting stories
