Simulacrum

Listen to poem:

Defunctive decadent dreams upon desert Dunes, Where your love drifts to dust within sandy storms… The dry devious air assimilates amorous dusty debris, entombing maleficent mirages. My breath betrayed by stimulated sinister sins, Illusive illusions adorn the gated Gardens of Eden… Rhetorical replicas reflect from your slaving smile. machiavellian mirrors magistrate. Forged in fires of facsimile you rise like the Phoenix, Effigy of a carbon copy of deceptive deliverance… A petulant puppet master of megalomania madness, archetypes of amour ambushed. A portrait of love through a passionate photograph, Suspended within parallel paradoxes of surrender... Your love keeps me captured amongst tenacious time, spurious memories marauding.

Hi WW, if your meter is not exact, at least the flow and meaning are much better than mine and you added some wonderful alliteration.

Simulacrum cannot be the alternative for the real thing, thus true love is captured in words and in the mind, but not in heart and soul. This is what your deep poem brings to mind, WW. Sapphic Stanzas are not easy to write, yet you tackle them without fear:) Regards // paul

WoW! Sounds like someone enslaved to a love that is most undeserving of devotion. Sounds like Brad Pitt and Angelina. Look for someone more like Jen. Great stuff. God Bless, JB
