Illusions of love

Illusions of love

A Poem by EmpressPoetess

Our love,

Was it all make believe, an empty dream?
Just illusions of what should have been?
Was nothing real or true in your whispers?
I was taken for a ride down fantasy road
on those nights of intense lovemaking

Held tight
in your embrace while my heart raced
with the wind towards mysterious terrains
falsely displayed joy between us, whisked away
like soft cloud roads, painted by pastels mists

where stardust trails were left by your caresses
Your smile dazzled me like rose colored glasses,
your lips covered mine with your beautiful lies
our love, oh what a lovely mirage it was!

A covenant of mystique formed by twilight rain
and sunshine in golden strands of warmth
I wiped the mist from the window of my heart
I can see clearly now, through my pain

This love we had, how could such beauty
Have been painted on a canvas so tainted!
