Dark bliss of ignorance

sorenbarrett

Darkness old friend

my family my home

so familiar when I roam

guiding light to the end

 

Can't bear to see the sun

blemishes reveal

dark ugliness conceal

cobwebs of illusions spun

 

Shadows where life can be

false hopes sweet dreams smiles

child like candy hope that beguiles

delusions of beauty

 

Video games movie TV

justice peace happily ever after

joy relief laughter

shadowy matrix fairytale tranquility

              Love your title as it's easier to hide in ignorance rather than face what's in front of us. and in what a way you do write with your poetic pen dipped in magic dear sorrenbarret as usual I love every line. 🌹

              • sorenbarrett

                Too gracious my friend I appreciate the most kind words and your visit is reward enough.

                With Teddy above re title. The delusion of our own existence which is so carefully built up and metaphorically delineated in the body of your poem destroys the bliss for those who get it, Soren....... Not fair really - for some of us that's all we have.....................

                  Thank you so much Dave for the read and most kind words of understanding. They are most appreciated.

                  Good words soren, so many people do not look in their lives to find the beauty that is there.
