Delusion

A prose poem describing a romantic delusion from male perspective.

In a cold dawn of tropical winter, I get a glimpse of her
Walking among the fog with soft brushes of grass under her feet.

Her rhythmic intake of breath ringing as symphonic tune.
My Amaranthine.

The cherry blossom tries to conceal her with a cloak of petals.
But she is imagined to be wearing a white attire made of mist and adorned with freesias,
Taking the vow of eternal bind of two souls.

The winter wind is blowing, disheveling her wavy hair all over her face,
Hiding her forest green orbs from my dark curious pair.
My Nymphetamine.

A quick glance and shy smile of wine-red lips are enough to create a soft and warm feeling inside me.

Lust or love?

Lust or love?

Lust or love?

The red dragon stares into the illuminated eyes of the lady clothed with light.He can smell the sweet fragrance of lilium on her hands when her eyes are glowing with mischief.

I get soaked with glistering dew, my heart cold with disappointment when she slowly disappears, fades away from this plastic world.

She is just an apparition injecting me with the drug of romance.

First poem is the best treasure.I could not read this four years back.I am very much impressed with the lovely work.

[Darcy Yellichzang]

Okay, I think I'm a fan of your writing haha. It's so... honest, I think by lack of better word. It's great!

[Rafy T.Nym]

Fan? I appreciate your kind gesture, Darcy.

I feel as if I need a med change now. I believe that delusions are borne from actual events that happen in our lives at some point. A twisted synapse starts calling the order, all dendrites fall into formation...a delusion is now blooming, burgeoning. Delusions don't just happen if you've got a chemical imbalance...but it certainly does help. Very impressive write. I think I'm becoming a fan. Thanks for sharing this. take care...dan

[Rafy T.Nym]

Thanks a lot for the kind words. :-) It's actually not my delusion, but I tried to potrait it for creating visual effect.

[dan]

I'm sorry but I didn't mean that it was your delusion, I was merely describing what I think of delusions, their genesis. And your writing created great visual effect. take care...dan

[zunie frost]

Welcome !!

[annalysiar]

Actually this can be taken many ways being that this is an illusion to the characters mind.
you portrayed that beautifully. The debate of love or lust is also wonderfully captured. It had a nice soothing flow to it and that is good it gives your poem a dream like feel. Until the character wakes up.
great write.
the format could use some work. But great all in all

[Rafy T.Nym]

Thanks a lot for the kind review. :-)

'The drug of romance' injects its flow through the poem, heightening its 'nymphetamine' effects with the colour and fragrance textures.

Very deftly woven poem in its imagery and its allusions - one can't help thinking of 'The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun' by Blake.


Reading your poem has led me to 'Amaranthus, the nympholept' by Horace Smith - which I am looking forward to reading.

[Rafy T.Nym]

Thanks a lot for the review. It's actually good to know that you know about Blake's wonderful works. :-)

[Solar]

I have not read them in depth, but your poem will make want to delve deeper into his poems and paintings.

[Hope Rose]

This is amazing! I don't see anything wrong with it.

[Rafy T.Nym]

Thanks a lot for the review.

[Hope Rose]

No problem

[Greg Agee]

I dig it bro. The picture you've painted is imagefy to mine. Nice movement through to disappointment. Back to reality. Very good. For this contest I would have loved to see an shelf at finance. That had nothing to do with his good it is. Keep it up.!! !
Just a note as to the construct. Dilated eyelids.? My visualizations rolled past in flow. Then reason took hold and said, how did she do that ? Not impossible I suppose....

[Rafy T.Nym]

Thanks a lot for the review and suggestion. I guess you have got a little confused about my gender. :-)

[ExquisiteEyes]

Beautiful poem!
I love the imagery that you have created. I could imagine each and every scene described.
Also, you have put up the intriguing question of love or lust

[Rafy T.Nym]

Thanks a lot for the kind review. :)
