Question

Smoke and Mirrors
2 Nov 2009

Fall has come and gone;
Winter’s finally here.
I thought I would not live alone
To shed another tear.
 
Yet divorced from wife, divorced from life
Divorced from emotion’s chains
I stare hard into the fireplace
Lamenting what remains
 
Of bygone days of happiness
Who knows if they’ll return
In the guise of someone new.
The logs still try to burn.
 
The light’s gone down from the fire’s glow
But the burning still exists.
Love, how I���d love to truly know you
Before my time has called it quits
 
And the betrayal of my seasons spent
In the desert to provide
Does harvest more than such spent could sow
While Deception was my bride.
 
Lies of love and a love of lies
Followed me for years
Until she left me burned out
Alone with smoke and mirrors

Poetry that comes from the heart. 

I really like it. Even though it's sad and speaks of heartache, it's good. 

Do you write a lot of poetry?

This is a sad and nostalgic poem
I wish I could help 
But not  knowing  what to do
alone with smoke and mirrors
No one is happy all of the time
Sometimes life fails to cruise
Instead it struggles and confuses
Sometimes we never even know
if it`s real or just illusion
in our thoughts and feeling
and yet hoping for the old life to return

I really like your poem. It's sad though... Did you come up with all of it just in one day?! Zoinks! It usually takes me a while, but I suppose if something is impressed upon your heart, then it just pours out naturally.

I think you should come up with a brighter poem some time later. :) For the Christian, there's always that silver lining in the darkest of clouds... :) Romans 8:18 - Selah
