Bitter in Error

A hint of a smile,

When your eyes sets on mine,

A grin spread across your face,

Enlightening and divine…

Only these thoughts constantly fixed on my mind.


For a moment there,

All troubles seem to fade away,

In a fantasy world of you and I,

Just the two of us leaning in, so endearing


A Temporary getaway,

Perhaps escapism or a hideaway,

For before I gain wisdom,

Your presence alone lies in mind


But reality being a stronger force,

Awakens us with an abrupt force,

Treacherous, corrupt, malignant and self-centered,

Wretched and withered,

away with my peace of mind


All pretty on the outside,

A joyous view to look at,

Everybody acknowledges,

Oh you the public delight!


Humbled I am, into feeling this way,

Dazzled by beauty, forgetting equality,

Though I am a man, still appealed to splendor,

A dreamer, a hopeful, a daylight dreamer


Seeing I see not,

Hearing I hear not,

Judgments went wrong,

Instincts in error,

No need to construe further...?
