Deluded Delusion!

“Fantasy” alleged:

 

I turned off

The light-

The world went dark!

 

I turned on

The light-

The world was still dark!

 

Was that-

The light-

 That veiled the veracity?

 

Or,

Was that-

The darkness-

That engulfed the truth!

 

The truth-

Of ‘Nothing’ exists!

 

Flowers-

Fragrances-

Melodies-

Voices-

                      -Are illusory!

 

Yes!

Still I was searching-

“No” for each ‘yes’!

 

 

I trust-

The beauty-if

A blind man describes

The Love- if

A heartless heart worships!

 

 

“Reality” whispered:

[Pulling the castle of cards-

Down-

From the distant sky]

 

"Perish- The world will

 A traveler next to you

You are lucky-

That you are, amongst the few

 

Few!

 

For, you know the truth-

The dark exists-

So does the light!

 

For, you know the illusion

Lies right inside you!

 

Yes !

and

No!

 They are the turns

That shall drive you-

To the fate!

 

An allegory-

Of delusion!

A mirage to

Those who loves to hate!

 

 

Hark!

A voice in You-

Chants a hymn!

The clamor outside

A delusion!"

A conversation between fantasy and reality is bound to be sensational for the curious way in which they might relate to each other. What may be mutually exclusive at some point is also co-dependent at other times. Certainly a relationship is implied between them. Nice write!

turned off the light.. it was dark,
turned on the light... it was still dark!!!

reality takes a break to revel in fantasy,
and the mind beholds what nature really holds!

From the condrum delusioned dark to the Delighted LIGHT,

[Jibey]

Interesting pattern of words, bringing out the paradox of apperance and realist, of fantasy and fact - But which is truth? For me, the light is in the world of the imagination... and I think for you too...
