Escape the Illusion

Shantanu Baruah's avatarConfab With Me

Abrade the layers of soot
that you invariably wear
from those deceiving eyes

You may not be aware,
but you appear spurious
for illusion conceives images
that never exists,
you then live in a world
that you presumably conceive

So, clear your vision
before you dare to peep inside,
for the worldly mirage
only let you see some pleasant visage,
but the reality is far beneath the skin
have the courage to look within

  1. I like this poem because it tells people to actually rub the dirt away from their eyes and look at the real inside of this world. Not the fake rumoured one, but the true image that is present.

  2. This cleverly beautifully written piece of Self Reflection and Self Examination, with such vivid imagery.
    The layers of Illusion within which are displayed to the world.
    Escape the Illusion of World View.
    Admonishing each of us to Pull back the Covers.

  9. That is deep! We do need to look at the unpleasant too because it is real and we sometimes avoid dealing with it. Such is life. Very relatable poem👌

  13. This is so deep – we create the illusion ourselves and then revel in it — deep within is the emptiness of perfect peace and what sweet encouragement you give us to step in. Brilliant write. Thank You! 🙂

  14. Ham puri jindagi bhranti men jite hain aur khud ko suljhaa samjhte hain jabki sabkuchh ulta hota hai….ye pata tab chalta hai jab hathon men kuchh bhi shesh nahi rahta……khubsurat rachna.👌👌

  21. I adore this one! Self-reflection is indeed necessary and only with courage come in terms to reality.
