Optical Delusion


Crystal tears, cold, abandoned,
Left to the fates, to the hope
That the sunlight of time
Can piece this armored heart.

Crystal tears, lead heavy,
Poisoned with pain, coalescing,
Gelling a lense for tomorrow,
Distorted, smudged,
Delivering mosaics, mirages of hope
To a cachectic soul,
To a disillusioned heart,
Caught in the blur of my jaundiced eye.
