Life-The Deception.. Poem by johan surya

if life be a beguiling stranger,
strolling amid illusioned glee;
the soul be its ultimate face,
in the ocean of a futile sea..

life the journey is purpose unknown,
embracing dejected hope so pathetically grown.
it is but the deception not traced, .
moaning every moment like a beleagured mermaid.

life is a shadow of darkness untold,
leaving every moment with sadness to behold..
life is thus the voyage of futile birth,
where like shadow,
we clinch to illusioned worth...
