My two existances

This one is open to interpertattion, but revolves around the mind and its optimisms in the face of reality

What reality this is, the dual planes of my existence

 

Life’s fabric in fray, seams splitting in two

 

Oh division of the mind, Oh duplicity of desire

 

Within I reach for phantasmal possibility, the realms of my divinity

 

But the shades of physicality shroud the deity of the mind

 

The vessel of my substance, buoyant in the ephemeral, placid in what is

 

Yet the compass of my desire points no way but up,  where I may soar in the skies, where I may fly with what should be, with what could be.

 

So night by night ,or in sweet soothing calm, I soar,

 

Soar past the clouds and then the stars, to the realms of MY reality, the paradise of MY perfection. were I am all and all is me.

 

A universe of thought with galaxies of glee, all planets of my essence, then shattered to bits 

,

An Armageddon of truth, by forces physical, oh reality of real, your darkness does dominate

A Boidae constriction of the infinities of want, what once seemed so real whisked into the void.

 

Oh this reality of existance , Must I bask in its finite light, its dying splendor, till this blood, this bone, this flesh and all, withers and fades?

 

Only then, when my fabric comes undone, will the dual become one?

I can only describe in personal terms so I will try to express what I felt as I go.

What reality this, is...
The dual planes of my existence

It seemed to me that maybe you meant that but only based on how I read it. As if you have weighed the experience and then described it. There also seems to be a rougue comma was that intended?
Finally I think nettiquette which is an IT term describing that when you capitalize you increase the volume of the word spelled. So are those my supposed to sound more convincing because of the Capitals or is it an allusion to individual v/s generic? That was not clear to me based on the way it is written.

That aside is a very enigmatic writing as it forces the reader to entertain the possibility of layers of a human being as well as different stages of conciousness namely waking, sleep and possibly another. Very interesting that the enthusiasm for soaring expressed possibily on idealism even with the direction of going up. That made me smile. I share the feeling yet cannot explain why we do that. Then it keep going even further into the cosmos and our possible relation to the universe as if intimately related. Again I share the feeling.

To the ending which shares a very palpable contradiction. I have so many question and somehow I know the answers to be there yet never feel close only the distance and the sollitude as I walk.

It is of an intimate nature then.

Thank You.

The ending was meant to signify the destruction of inner optimisims many people face when reality and its constrictions arise. In many of us is the desire for a glorified lifestyle or un ending happiness, yet that is not the way the world often works, and so those inner optimisms "galaxies of glee" are shattered by the many truths in life, as for the My's, well I dont know, it felt right to captilize and add impact when I was writing it but I may change it up in the near future. Once again thank you Rene for the wise and insightful words, always a delight
