Illusions Speak Poem by JOE POEWHIT

Illusions Speak

Rating: 5.0


Eyes that look inside.
Ears that speak out music.
Feelings that never surface.
Hair that grows inward.
A sun that turns dark.
The empty glass -upside down.
Songs without words.
Babies that never cry.
Paint without colors.
A room overfilled.
Green slim ice-cream.
Walks without steps.
Hearts empty of love.
Money that is never spent.
Empty bottle of lost DREAMS

We can add on like this An ocean without water. A man without brain. A woman without heart. A food without taste. All these illusions are like eyes without visions. I like this poem very much.

One of my earlier catch phrases was 'In essence dreams are real'.It really applies to this poem.Good strong composition.
