"miraged" poems
Places that once had names
changed by wind and rain
and sun and shifting sands
once mapped and framed
bad lands claim
dry bones.
Desert meets sky
and rivers run dry
and road is lost
to all who try
to find their way
to shining pools
of silver lies
miraged below
forgetful skies.
Days go past in time lapsed
skies changing fast to black
to red to blue to white
and back again
to no end
in sight.

What kind of magician are you?
One who would carve a heart in two.
Offered as truth, the audience view
Miraged oceans made of sand.
Light retracts, distracts,
Sight fights sleight of hand.
The eyes will see what you will show,
The mind will always think it knows.
The heart will lie, cheat and steal.
While smiles conceal, frowns reveal
That still we can't say what is real.

Into a dark ocean I stare.
Nothingness.
Yet perhaps small glimmers of light; false as they may seem to the eye and soul
still nothingness
Miraged hope
unattainable light
too far away on the endless horizon

Here for the moment..
or however long that takes me..
until any memory of me is gone,
And I'm miraged inside your minds interface..
I escape thee..
I am left behind..
as time passes by..subtly..to erase me..
