False! Poem by Dónall Dempsey

False!



Your love
so real
turned out to be
nothing but the shimmer
of a mirage

the way the heat haze
distorts the land
and even mountains seem to quiver
shimmering in the heat.

Your love
so real
I could almost touch it

but when I reached out
it was nothing but
a stage set in the middle of a desert
houses that seemed so solid
turned out to be mere

illusion...a tinseltown house
to be believed in but not lived in.
Your love
so real

now nothing but a sip
in the distance in fog
sounding its hooter
as if to convinced itself
that it really exists.
