Distortions

 

The Sunday Muse #186



Love,

 a  natural disaster

cannot be controlled or contained

masquerading

the passions of self-love.


Eyes.

windows to the soul

can play games

if one is not careful.


Mirage,

what we see and feel

short and sharp

bits of universes

lodged in the distorted psyche!

  6. Struck by "short and sharp//bits of universes" and the way the poems give definitions that reassure that the words are still unknown.

  7. Penetrating the mist of illusion, dispelling the reflection of ourselves in the other, sometimes seems a hopeless task indeed. Excellent final stanza.

  11. Unescapable illusions, most all are caught in these traps.
    Nice write, Sunita. I'll be especially watching the love.
