sensory illusions

a paradox of paradise

I love the way temptation

Teases me

Making me its slut

Hugging my hips

With a desire

That pulls me in

Close enough

That I can feel the energy

Burn

Knowing

Negative and positive

side by side

Magnetically drawn

To taste one another

A sensory illusion

Illustrated

By a creation of our own

Device

We move closer towards

What we fear

In hopes that it will

Love us back

Regardless

the cost

Of misery

And suffering

A paradox of paradise

Plagued by our passionate

Pasts

Fooling us

Into thinking

Forever is lost

When it was never found

From the start.

About the Creator

Veronica

I am the moss silken on watered stones, rooted deep in rich soil. Earthen creature, I am the night sky -starry and strayed from the forgotten path of poets - I am, the chatter from the iron rails rattling as the train carries itself home.
