Poem -
Love's An Illusion
Now you see itā¦now you donāt!
Who pulled away the cloth?
Left your table topĀ intact
but destroyed your foundation.
The unseen magician?
Ā
Sweet words like dripping honey
filled your ears with deceiving saccharine.
Faith like an overripe melon,
waiting to be crushed and reduced to
an aqueous puddle.
Ā
Promises made with sacred honesty
carelessly Ā forgotten on a whim.
Just words with no core or substance,
except Ā for the power to annihilate
with a wave of Ā a whimsical wand.

Hi Lodigiana, loving the Magician analogy!! very clever- always loved the tablecloth trick and tried it myself with disastrous results!. Cleverly written and as always real clarity of storyline ..IĀ admit to sometimes strugglingĀ with some otherĀ poemsĀ to understand what the heck they areĀ talking about...but never with yours and for that I thank you!!! Great piece of work ..
You are very welcomeĀ StevieC!Ā Ā Thank you so much for your kind words and making me smile!

Loved your Poem, just wanted to say as we age what we believe or don't believe more and more depends on actions rather than words.
I have been told many times I will love you forever, only to find at this time of life only one remains.
As a youth I drank of love and was often intoxicated by it's passion,
Now I am embraced by love and instead of intoxication I have certainty.
sorry to be long winded, your poem stirred me.
Thank you.

Hi John , I did enjoy reading your comments and thoughts...they certainly do strike a memorable chord with me! so much truth in what you have said and I loved how you expressed it...wise and positive words that we should all remember..I love the 'Certainty' you speak of..what could ever be better than that my friend?
