Elegy to an Illusion

Katdream

go back…
go back to your superficial visions
where loveliness is worn
like chic facades
substance missing from behind the mask

when fantasy escapes your emptiness
stripped naked to the rudiments
who then will be your liberator
your confidant
your muse

shadows smudge your perfect illusions
while you look the other way
and delusions consume you
leave me now in fragmented silen

    Well written. I loved the line "where loveliness is worn like chic facades."
    Great allegory. Powerful words.

    Thank you Buzz Bray. I appreciate the read and your comments.

    I got a question ?
    When fantasy escapes …..emptiness seems opposed to the poems point of view,?
    Rather , when fantasy is replaced by emptiness —to my ear is more consistent to the exvelkent mood and motion of the piece ?!!

    Excellent suggestion. Thank you for the comment.
