An Image

O’ it’s a love affair with an image

Studying the outlines to frame an opinion

Leading to a fatalistic identity

Conscience subjugated by imposing passion

Seduction by an image

A stratagem?

Feelings kiss the skin so fervently

Revolving world comes to a standstill

Consciousness shrinks

Plenitude of an image submerges insight

The world rushes in with platitudes

Blending an image of freedom

There is an ulterior motive to mislead

An image after all

Composed from delusions

Soon the image will fall apart

Identifying with an image?
