The Greatest Illusion



picture source: https://za.pinterest.com/pin/375909900125394202/


A witches brew of pictures flicker through mist thick as a curtain,
hovering, then it settles on you and you glisten, glow,
a light, a rainbow, a crystal ball of invitations I take delight and pleasure in,
write on with my fingers, my tongue, a private invitation for you, my own,
your lips the fire streaking through my blood, we burn from opposing sides towards the center chord.
Here I relapse, in this cloud, this cloud without weight,
before the other side pulls me down, back to where I observe from the fringes,
just a silent spectator filming the pictures
of the greatest illusion and most bountiful of spectacles, life!  Feed me.

  3. Hmm...interesting one. Starts off like a love story, ends with a creepy twist--I like it!

  4. I would love to be the flame on the other end of the wax burning toward the center and when we relapse to ash I would happily hold your light so the film was clear and well pixilated.
