The Illusion

The Illusion

English Poem : #18493 English Poem Abstract : #9481
 home   mirage   bars   colours 

Beautiful coloured climbers

With roses at each branch

Striped view of the world

Sometimes bright stars

Sometimes sunny mornings

This was her home

Where she belonged


An illusion created by her heart

Blinded by love for a demon

For this was a prison

Striped bars, black and empty

This was where she was kept

Captured and deceived

This was her home

Which she wouldn't leave
