Nothing If Not a Ruse

 Perception of the world around you
Like a shattered mirror flawed.

What is seen is no more real
than the frozen thought you thawed.

Let what is just simply be
In the here and the now and the then

Time is as was did the present
How we perceive what is where or when

Think tomorrow hasn't came yet
Your wrong because it's already here

Think yesterday is far too gone
Your wrong because it's already near

So take your time, see what you please, do as you so choose
Because everything we thing we know is nothing if not a ruse.

I gotta' admit, I had to read this about five times before it sunk in, and I think I've got it now. I like the meter and random way the verse bounces along, carrying us along to it's inevitable conclusion.
This was a good write!

One thing you might want to look at:
Think yesterday is far to {too} gone. Should be "TOO" here...

[realmwriter]

I didn't notice that and will fix it because it should be too not to. Thank you for pointing that out, always thought I need an editor. Would you like to apply for the job.? It pays nothing, but at least you can work your own hours and be your own boss...LOL Thank you for reading and reviewing this piece. I used that randomness to kind of lend to the bumpy feeling of reality at times. Glad you noticed...!

[Dean Kuch®]

It certainly worked. Good job with this one...

Grounds the reader and makes them determined to take each moment with not only a pinch of salt but to realise moments are to be cherished xoxo

[realmwriter]

Yes they are and when they take your breath away,as rare they are, you will cherish them the rest of your life...!

makes everything seem a little pointless really, strikes you with a hint of depression this poem, i like it

[realmwriter]

Well it not really meant to but it does. Couldn't help it...! Thanx for reading it...!

[quinfinn]

time is irrelevant, it is man who is flawed for thinking it makes any sense...we can no more judge or control time than we can understand our own minds...it is a fallacy. you do the concept much justice with this provocative and well thought out poem , this is tactile and resonant. well done!

[realmwriter]

From a man who elevates a simple review to poetry, this is a huge compliment, Thank you very much...!

[quinfinn]

welcome!
