Smoke and Mirrors
Smoke and Mirrors …
Was it all smoke and mirrors
that made your love seem so real?
Was it all a dream
or did you love me for a while?
It seemed but a moment in time,
that you came into my life,
like a magician,
out of another space and time.
You came and you took my love,
magically changed my life -.
so that my days began and ended with you.
Your words wove about me,
like a spider’s web
and I could only see the good,
turning a deaf ear to the bad.
You filled my world,
with smoke and mirrors.
The smoke left a haze,
so my eyes couldn’t focus on reality.
Into the mirrors, I stepped,
like Alice in her wonderland,
seeking your kisses and words of love,
while behind me, the clowns were laughing –
knowing that you weren’t loving me.
Giving me the illusion,
like being in a fun house at a carnival.
Every day was a carnival with you,
but the dark thunderous clouds,
on the horizon loomed.
You were just fooling around,
out of the haze, I stepped,
out of that world of mirrors –
to see the harsh reality.
Like when the night,
makes lovers dreamy,
while the moonbeams,
created romantic gleams,.
while I was loving you,
you were just fooling around
and while my heart was breaking –
those clowns just keep on laughing.
I was fooled,
by the world you created,
like some mad magician,
so sure of yourself –
surrounding me with smoke and mirrors.

Nicely rendered Rasma, of a false love, a pretender. So many people like that, sadly. Well written, emotive and very much enjoyed. Take care.
Thank you, Tony. Inspired by this ever changing world and its unpredictable happenings.
So heart-breaking when the one you love was only pretending to love you back. Very nicely penned and emotive. Well done, Rasma.
Thank you, Phyllis.
It’s a real let down when a person inflicts that pain on another. One feels sorely used and taken advantage of. I hope this person stops victimizing people and come to his senses. Life has a way of getting back at such offenders of the heart. Too many pretenders in our world. Nicely penned Rasma.
Thank you, Vincent. Yes, it was inspired by this crazy and ever-changing world.
