The illusionist

I think this is one of your best, Tony.
People can definitely be illusionist, they can make us believe every word they say... we are blind to who they truly are.

I love the ending, all we need to do is open our eyes and we will see clearly.

Great write! Adding to my favs!

You are seriously an amazing writer. I wsh I was just half as talented as you are. I loved this, and I hope you never stop writing

Wow Tony

I was all set to give you a nice big comment, but the girls have done a great job.

this is the best poem I have read of yours

and because of that

I shall use my final nomination

awesome

really tight, great flow, great imagery and the emotion almost runs off the screen.

"the truth was right before your eyes
but they were forbidden to see
what was visible to the world."

This is my favorite line. Compared to the rest of the poem, it really sets things up.
The whole "forbidden" part plays into the fact that it is just an illusion. And then your later use of "fairy tale" is just... superb. It is a dark poem, which is one of my favorite subjects and it has this really eerie feel to it. Good, good.
