Failing Illusions

castles built on illusion,
stones conjured out of thin air,
courtyards brimming with greenery and paradise charm,
brought to life by rivalry and chivalry.

relative reality spun, formed and reformed,
hollow clouds the mold for the whole,
adventure the ballast, together it holds
and royal romance sets a tale of necromancy.

and then the evil ruler from the west
sets the floating castles nigh,
empty stones tumble to endless depths
and always takes the queen for himself.

Must I Choose?

I am torn, conflicted between one who is beside me and one that should be, I cannot decide. She is my anchor, speaks the words that comfort my heart.

She makes my heart faint with longing, The other cherishes me beyond what I can imagine, they both fill my heart with joy. If I part with her, I will die. If the other leaves me, my soul will be robbed of light. Must I decide? They both are the perfect woman. ~ Pandit. And so continues the emotional binge. Image: Diver From Beneath by Petr Kratochvil
