illusioned

there are times i have been disillusioned

i allude to my life in images and dreams

beauty becomes an empty shell

the horrid becomes an orchid

passion morphs to mundane

the trivial never was so crucial

the monumental fades to oblivion

waves crash on an unyielding shore

while a creek carves a vast cavern

i want this moment of my life

this existence will remain in my mind forever

this image is disillusioned and is my reality

that shore is vast and wide yet it remains shallow

true depth can be found in the narrow space

between your words

this is no illusion
