The Lord Of All Illusions Poem by GREENWOLFE 1962

The Lord Of All Illusions

Rating: 3.7


The love that fate, in humor,
May grant a younger heart.
Will keep it pure and wholesome,
Though It's been torn apart.

As lost loves still engender
A pain at every turn.
A short term loss of memory
Is but their least concern.

But pleasure, ever present,
As all young lovers know;
When vested in such virgins,
Maintains an afterglow.

And built on firm illusions,
Young lovers, may, in vain;
Find mercy in believing,
Their love may live again.

So easily rekindled,
It only takes a spark.
Ignited by a kind word,
Into a flaming arc.

I caution every lover,
Don't be deceived by this.
It's only an illusion,
And one you should dismiss.

The myth words, here, are written.
A wisdom, best ignored.
The lord of all illusions,
'Lost love, can be restored '.

I know some people who have fallen for this illusion. Well done as it inspires me to wake them up.

A poem that should be higher then it's voting rate. This is a great poem that deserves at least near a 10. It says so much and gives advice aswell. It flows through the readers mind after they have read it and it stays in one's heart. Least mine anyway. I love it. Kat, =)

I think its important that we know what we have been blessed with, the lord works in mysterious ways, what is given so freely can and will be taken away.

Underrated piece. I totally agree with the points you made. it is like backsliding.. the demons just become more...
