WRAP ME IN AN ILLUSION
A symbolic fantasy, Delude me with your starry intoxication! Let my reality slowly slip into oblivion… Till I feel like I can float; With my senses numbed, Feeling emotions but not sure. Disillusioned… Shunning away practicality, And living my fancy. In my dream, Calming my soul. And I drift further away- Away from the grasps of despair and despondency: Sinking into this calm arena, No responsibility or tension. Slipping into that deep hollow; And you just fall… Deeper and deeper… Conditioning yourself to believe again? To hope again? For a better tomorrow…? Acquiring a new position, A place to laze. To think again; For something admirable; Caressing your soul In the midst of confusion. Drawing nearer, To make something wonderful, Of yourself. Immortality? Would that be credulous? Is it assured? Such a void of bliss! Staring at open spaces! Viewing them as paradise? Lush green meadows, And tapering hills. All the natural beauty; That had been overlooked- That had been a myth- And in your imagination, Its real. Dipping into a placid pool, Clear with no blemishes. Burying your sorrows. And just being. Relaxing like never before. And you set sail, With all you believe in to be true; With rainbows and clouds. Smiling down on you… Sunshine in plenty. And on a clear night: You wish upon a solitary star, Hoping this to be reality Hope to see only what you believe Hoping…
