I have the memories to prove it
...
written all over my heart
etched in yesterday's sand
We weren't supposed to lose the friendship
Time would not keep us apart again
We'd found something so grand
that wouldn't be put aside
We called it love
during passionate nights as lovers
and days of growing closer
....
in a friendship neither of us could hide
So special that we found it
So exciting
So unique
So up front you were
in everything you said to me
I never thought that one day
these same words would reveal
everything
about your intentions
the ones that you never let me feel
Love has now become a masquerade
some maddening,
callous scheme
A tool for your own gain
You have made love a dishonor to it's name
She walks in
......
And I see it all co clear
Now I understand
...
why I spent the better part of yesterday
writing
I.L.L.U.S.I.O.N.
...
in the sand

In the sand. Wow. Just wow. You have made me speechless. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteoh my....I've been there....I don't think I ever came back...peace.
ReplyDeleteI am truly being a lover of your unique craft... this scribe alone is so majestic... you depicted that picture as a masterpiece. Your work is to be congratulated...
ReplyDeleteThis is a very beautiful piece. The emotions are very clear and the wondering/wanderings of the mind are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteBuffi...I must have done good, right...lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for enjoying my scribes
Tammy...I don't think I will either. lol
ReplyDeletethanks for your comments....
Blaq...if that's true...then it's how I feel about your work too...
ReplyDeleteThank you for getting me...
DIvine12...Thanks for stopping by. glad you liked this....
ReplyDeleteBlessings.
ReplyDeleteJoycie-pooh!!! Y'kno, for this exercise, we could've written anything about illusion, but I felt that love was the greatest illusion, the greatest magic trick ever performed. I'm glad you see it that way, too **head nod** Consider this dug, sis.
Peace within and God bless you, love.
Poetica...When I saw the exercise, it was my first thought. lol
ReplyDeleteI;m glad you agreed, and liked this...
Thanks!
I feel the emotions in this piece.... beautiful scribe...
ReplyDeleteWetkisses....This is a very personal, and real piece.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the read....
I love how this was written.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad that you spend time with someone that means something to you but,
to them you're just there.... until someone else comes along...
I can see why you call it an illusion.
That is always the case....
Nenahhhhhhhh...welcome back!
ReplyDeleteI think you really got it. That's the feeling behind this. Thanks for your true words...
bowing...(thank you, thank you...lol)
ReplyDeleteI went through the motions the other day, which I am totally embarrassed by. I am always questioning who I am to others and how they really feel about me....so sad to have to do such.
I've lost contact with those that didn't see my worth....
oh well, God makes room for those that want to stay!
You know the funny thing is that later they will call you and say, wow, I totally over looked your friendship because the new person didn't appreciate them as you did...
Hey come over I have a poem called 2-Faced Flower...
ReplyDeleteEmotions understood, Nenah....
ReplyDeleteI am going through this presently. Re-adjusting my life after friends whose purpose and season in my llife has passed. When one door closes, there is another nearby....
Thanks for being so candid....
Anytime...and yes, it hurts but someone better will show you what a real friend is made of.
ReplyDeleteSame here....I think I have one friend now.....MYSELF...lol...
just a lonely soul now-a-days...me and the bottle of wine, kicking it..... :-)
