CHASING AN APPARITION

CHASING AN APPARITION

It’s an apparition I’ve been chasing,

Merely a ghost that I am facing,

I’m beginning to believe it’s a figment of my imagination,

A false impression due to hallucination,

Yes, an allusion to an illusion,

Perhaps much deeper like a delusion,

It leaves me tangled in a web of confusion,

It is the spider that comes from out of reclusion,

I am her feast,

Such a man-eating beast,

It will not spare me in the least,

For its chicanery will spurn me until I cease,

What is this phantom I speak of?

It is the wicked notion of a thing called love.
