Allusions

  

Two lovers read poetry 

in the dark 

They forget the words

as day arrives 

But then retells them

with their own

emphasize 

  

The sad antagonist

attracts hatred

But is really the same

as the protagonist, the hero

But one of them

subject

to proclaim

  

They take as they learn

Recollect words

Interpret and discern

rearrange them

into their own fusion

All that they are,

they create:

new drafts

  

They allude to

a metaphor;

a version

of an interpretation 

  

Subliminally,

they refer to

the previous draft

of a delusion

that said,

We are all allusions

We are all drafts, 

endlessly striving 

for the perfect illusion
