Two realms


There has been a ludicrously tranquil rapport
Between the world beyond and within me.
A balance between “Dreams” and “Reality” -
Now restricting my baffled spirit from being free.

This new empathy has been poking me a little.
Oh! I’d been treading on this pernicious lane
For a dozen of years and all this while, I’d
Muddled up the two in my quest of being sane!

A blur yet vital line lies in between these realms of
Fantasy and Reality- they are so significantly diverse.
Seems I have inadvertently erased this line; and now
The assurance my vain perfection is getting immersed.

The previous reign of dreams over my oblivious senses
After this musing, is fading away, slowly yet decisively.
Insouciance’s being taken over by awareness of reality
But well, all that I do now is stare in sheer perplexity…

They say - see the marvels of life yet take care not to
Spill the oil; tell me is that anywhere close to possible?
How fervently I attempted to observe the wonders of life
But, failed to dwell in reality, making things miserable.

It is indeed better to skip out of the realm of fantasy
The world of lively dreams and truly fabled serenity.
Reality is not always sweet and fascinating, it hurts-
And after all, real acrimony is better than fake fantasy.

Balancing the two worlds in me is entirely improbable.
I am not the impeccable mortal who in this would thrive.
So, there lies just one choice, opt for either of the two.
I have decided as I said earlier, and there no regrets alive.
