Illusion Poem by Barry Middleton

Illusion



I gaze at you across my room
confused to know my eyes deceive

I wonder are you truly real
or just a dream the stars conceive

you still inhabit misty views
my eyes eclipsed by smoke and tears

the mind plays tricks and memory
is now confounded by the years

I know I dwell in yesterday
but still I welcome visions past

where love's illusion comforts me
though apparitions never last
