Fantasia

 There is a meaning to both... 

A man's fantasy and his goals of reality

For his reality is merely, 

his watered down fantasy

And a fantasy is simply, 

his  desires and imagination blended in ecstacy

But alas, what would it be

If the fantasy were a hair's breadth away 

Or so his mind did see

Would his reality then hold any sway? 

I say, nay scream it wouldn't 

For I know it wouldn't 

And I know what would, 

A strange haze that covers everything

A kind of shady backdrop

Whether there be rain or sun or spring or wind in your life's reality

There would always be this haze 

To dull every sight and smell, every touch and feeling 

Until one day it blots out all there is and is to be.

Sea of Bitterness

 So much maybe too much 

A sea of bitterness with roiling waves of sadness

Forgive me my friend, 

For now I can no longer feel yours 

Forgive me my brother and set me free...

A reflection

 I see her smiling through the mirror... 

Her smile, One that can only be described to be enigmatic

A little elegant and a lot more magnetic

"What now do you mean?", I smile at her

And in return a mysterious smile is all I incur

I try to analyse, to disassemble and dissect

To glean and gain an insight 

But it's hard when all lady fortune does is continue smiling through the mirror.

The swirls

 In the quest for something

Into the swirls of nothing

That turn the world round and round

By the turning cogs within the mind

You are pulled in, fallin' to the bottom

Falling, Fallin' until you see no bottom

Finally lost, in an unmoving space and time

Living the life of a very real mime

And here it is that you wait, for that silver belled voice

Or that gilded golden hand that gives you a choice

"Will you please hold on to me, my friend"

"Trust me and I'll free you from the nothingness... "

Waves

 Waves of blue and white crashing onto the glittering shores

Drowning everything in their thunders and hisses

Let them sail you out of life's worries

As they suck you into the sea of oblivion

Even though you know it's a moment most transient

Cause what the sea takes in, it is sure to spit it out.

Precious life

 Sailing in a sea of bitterness

Isn't it worthwhile for a single drop of happiness

A moment of weakness

In exchange for a lifetime of experience?

Look at the world, at the sea of human heads

Do you think they give so much as shreds

Don't you think that as long there is life there is hope

You may cope or you may elope

Though it's something everyone may deplore

Just don't go knockin' on heavens door

 A song

In the air flows

Unknown, unusual

Transmits a warmth nonexistent

Evermore...

Memories

 We may want to but we can't

Some things are better forgotten

But sometimes the links are forged of adamantium

Chains that turn our souls into beasts of burden..

Unhindered

 With the heart as your compass

Tread the world and life alike

You'll see your way among the trillions

as you walk it with naught a care

For destiny nor destination

Cz the road isn't in the past we often look into

Nor is it in the future we pride ourselves in calculating

It is in the present right under our feet

Love

 Even if there was such a thing called love

On this strange little rock that we call our home

I wouldn't dare believe such

Even if the whole world angry at me

Made me believe in such

I wouldn't dare care about such

Stars

 Stars aren't meant to dictate our destiny

They are meant to be our destination

Old

 He knew he would need to make his own World

Before he quickly grew weary and old

He wanted to carve out a beautiful world

But all he could do was to slowly grow old

The Ultimate Price

Sailing in a sea of bitterness

Isn't it worthwhile for a single drop of happiness

A moment of weakness

In exchange for a lifetime of experience?

Look at the world, at the sea of human heads

Do you think they give so much as shreds

Don't you think that as long there is life there is hope

You may cope or you may elope

Though it's something everyone may deplore

Just don't go knockin' on heavens door
