Illusion: A Haibun

Illusion or reality- that shrouds my vision obscuring from me the truth that lies before me. There is a grey cover hiding a round object on the table. That object is what I seek, that object is what will give me a much-needed direction in life. I move gradually towards that wooden structure on which rests my fate, my destiny. I thrust my hand forward and carefully pick up the grey curtain, which when hurled away would lead me to the view of what the future holds for me. I am numb but I made myself see the object. It is a glass orb. I pick it up and all I see is haze and nothing else. Illusion or reality- that plagues my vision obscuring from me the truth that lies nowhere before me.

my brown eyes,

you will be dazzled

and I will bear your weight because

as dark as I am, that is something I always do,

as dark as I am, that is something I always do,

you can judge me if you desire,

spurt me with wise words,

but look, see

within

these

eyes,

you

will

find my

lost shadow

and you will see me

as I am without my white mask

and my scars will be on display just for you to view,

all my scars will be on display just for you to view,

the blotted marks of a known truth-

life is hard to live,

grasp this fact

once you

see

me.

Ambition Haiku

Allegory of Ambition by Franz Wagner

a love ambition

turning to an obsession

sees no boundaries

~

riding pegasus

striving to capture his lust

his blind ambition

~

death follows behind

lethal ambition for her

a god-sent angel

~

mars’ warrior son

ready to kill and be killed

an ill ambition

* For Carpe Diem # 242 Ambition.

Look me in the eyes

Look me in the eyes

these eyes tell my story

look beyond those tears

look beyond that renitence

that appears in my eyes

Look and tell me

what you see in them

tell me what you perceive

tell me my own story

story I don’t know myself

for I can’t look

in my own eyes.

me

nobody else but

only that of your very own.

The

long

chatter

you have had

with yourself, for sure

did terrify me completely.
