Illusions Speak Poem by JOE POEWHIT

Illusions Speak

Rating: 5.0


Eyes that look inside.
Ears that speak out music.
Feelings that never surface.
Hair that grows inward.
A sun that turns dark.
The empty glass -upside down.
Songs without words.
Babies that never cry.
Paint without colors.
A room overfilled.
Green slim ice-cream.
Walks without steps.
Hearts empty of love.
Money that is never spent.
Empty bottle of lost DREAMS

The most powerful line 'Empty bottle of lost DREAMS. Seems we all have an bottle sitting on the shelf, cap off, bottle spilled, contents gone. Good poem
