Such beauty to the page
Of flowers bloomed but hours past
And babies new of age

And how I love such poetry
Delight in purest form
But I enjoy the irony
That lurks within its core

The saddened poet cries
"Existence, bleak, forlorn"
Extinguishing his woes through ideas

The joyous poet sings
"In life, such beauty holds"
Expressing her bliss through observation

And therein lies the irony
For eyes deceive
And thoughts are proof

So unlucky poets find the truth
Ignoring such deceit
Whereas the bless'ed poet lies herself
Ignoring lacking meaning [comments] => 1 [counter] => 370 [topic] => 56 [informant] => the_callif [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => sarcasticpoetry )

Interesting piece...in a way i guess this how we all see ourselves from time to time.

For eyes deceive
And thoughts are proof

These two lines say volumes..because it is the truth...Our minds think what our eyes see...and what we see is where our thoughts come from..

I really liked this..I look forward to reading more of your work.
