A Mirage In The Fading Light Poem by Doris Cornago

A Mirage In The Fading Light

Rating: 5.0


Sun
shines
directly
in my eyes
Blinding me
Angelic halos
winking eerily

Bedazzled mind
Mesmerizing hot
Sweet turpidity
Sedate facade's
a mirage in the
fading light of
the hot desert

Shimmers heat
Egos deflate
Regurgitate
Pallbearer
marching

Boxed
in

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The external characteristics of a person do not tell us enough of what he/she is inside - his temperament, preferences, reactions and all those traits which form his so-called character. The sun dazzles as a person's resplendence impresses a crowd, but be forewarned of the shimmer that blinds. Wait with that person, alone, in his/her darkest hour, and thus, know the real person inside of the shell. To love a man/woman for all his/her flaws is true love indeed, until death parts you.

Thank you for this visit. I am always delighted to have a fellow poet look into the deeper meaning of my poems with me in the same way that I like looking into something that they have seen and expressing the view in a poem. Come back soon, Dr. Tony.

Our hopes dim as our energies flicker, and so, we cannot just allow ourselves to be carried out in a box to fertilize the soil; bravely, let your voices be heard, today is the day for poems, there are no scheduled tomorrows. With my apology to RMS for the lengthy explanations.

Ang sinag ng araw sa aking mga mata'y Pagbubunyag Wari'y anghel Purong busilak Ako'y isang aba Palaging taranta Maamong mukha Taliwas sa anghang Isa kang malikmata pakupas na liwanag Ningas ng disyerto Nawawalan ng init ang pagkakaibigan Kahambugan ay nakakasuklam Eto sepulturero nagmamartsa dala ang kahon na Malikmata Filipino translation

Sol brilla derecho en mis ojos Cegándome Halos angeles Parpadeando misteriosamente Impresionable Hipnotizante Dulce turpidez Fachada sedada un espejismo en desvanecimiento la luz del desierto llameante todo La pasión decae Ego desinflado Regurgitar Sepulcro de marcha lleva el caja Un Espejismo My Spanish translation of the poem
