delusion and illusion

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles

And the heavens open every time she smiles

And when I come to her that's where I belong

Yet I'm running to her like a river's song

she give me love love love love

crazy love

you know the words

what a load of bullshit

there I was with yoga-girl

gardening on Prosecco and Aperol

and the song came to me

from the verandah speaker

and in a moment of clarity 

I realised how we are all

deluded by emotion

and lead down the (garden) path

there is no truth

but what we think

there is no reality 

but what we perceive

When I was a much younger man

I believed I was desperately in love

with a girl whom I could not live without

and this was our song.

20 years later

I can't stand the woman

and all that I felt was 

wrong

The history of our lives

is writ on the lines of our face(s)

and the meaning is dependant

on how we feel at this moment.

life is an illusion

repeated day to day

tricking the people

into the belief of meaning.

and thats the rub

in the end what you believe

changes all the time

if only we knew it then.
