Illusion, Love And Reality Poem by Okoronkwo Jonathan Jackson

Illusion, Love And Reality



What can I say is real?
Who can I point to be the perfect person?
Is there anything such thing true as to saying-
I LOVE YOU?
All is but illusion and shadows

Who can be trusted?
Where can one base confidently for safety
Is there any such thing as
TRUE AND REAL FRIEND?
All is but shadows of reality, an imaginary delusion.

It's all lies. Pretence is all what it is
Their words so sweet- but
With empty waves in the air of nothingness.
I know it exists but finding it
Is but chasing your own shadows
And at the end lost in mere illusion and fantasy.

Infactuation is all they offer. Yet
So swift in words their declaration
Yet upon the corridors of backbite and grudges
Your mistake evergreen in their heart remain
Never thinking of forgiveness.

What love it is that can your way to be true.
You love but are loved not
You cherish without been cherished
All you get is but
deciet.

Your hope you place in them only to become shattered;
Your future broken
And drawn in the ocean of what it is,
You are left in the desert of your own illusion.

It's all shadows.
None of them comes saintly;
None of true love is worthy.
Thy heart hold tight
Less thou be drawn in the sea of delusion
And thy heart torn in the shadows of your ignorance
For thy heart so precious, worth tears for no soul.
