Fancy Stumbles Through Songs
Disenchanted, imagination's smile,
individuality scrapes romance
from the visions that sting voiced poetry,
rhyme's exquisite beauty is not worthwhile,
here inside disappointment's fragrant dance,
rhythm's a chaotic absurdity.
Illusion's lithe confusion spills angry
coloured love as fancy stumbles through songs:
naked passionate imprints that devour,
where's the wonder that seduced this ghostly
apparition; wisps of thought in rights, wrongs
which bloom and fade like the lost wildflower.
Expression's quaint phantom steals this hour;
stretched across infinity's cold delight,
creativity, the distance of mind,
a wail that seizes the spirit's power,
wrings it dry under informal moonlight,
sighs of bereavement are no more confined.
