Smoke and Mirrors… #Poetry

We are characters in a new hard cover

We see you as voyeurs, spying on our lives

Skipping paragraphs, eager to get to the pages

You have been told about.

You will be sorry when the story makes no sense

Asking yourself, what did the author mean by that

Did you enjoy the bedroom scene you hurried to?

Was it all you expected?

Will you be putting any of it into practice?

Will your partner wonder what came over you?

It is time for us to escape

We have found a way out of these inked out pages

Good and bad as you can see

We are not talking smoke and mirrors

We are more than imaginary illusion

There is a world out there we want to join.

We will leave a little dust between the hard cover

Find our way into the wind, into the eyes of passers-by

There will be certain changes now we live outside the pages

The story will take on new meaning, as we live life our way

New stories will be written, but a warning should be given

Characters may rebel…

    I survived a character rebellion, Anita. Not by much but did survive. Excellent poem.
