Present Illusions
written by: TM Arko
What of
Philosophy
Theology
Origins
Or belief
The phantasmagoria
Of a dream
Within a dream
Concatenation
Not yet known
When the eventide
Of eternity
Is too close by
The antithetical doctrines
Driven to
The declivity of the mind
Squalid prison
Schoolrooms
Devour
The Childlike
Cloudland
Cadaver like creatures
Swim
The media laced pools
Of toxicity
Tainted ideas
Hypocrisy
Duplicity
Blind truth
Beyond humility
Still every leaf
Trembles
Bare feet across the sand
Phantasms at the exit
Reality
The entrance
To the final realm
I live in the Pacific Northwest. A small community with farms and antique shops. Lots of rivers and lakes and these are some of the themes I like. I am a technical writer by trade so poetry offers me an escape from the more mundane industrial articles I work on day to day. I love music and am a classic rock fanatic. Love good books and stories too.
