Illusions

How crazy these delusions,
That arise in sheer confusion
For half-asleep it sets in my mind,
An eternity where thoughts are unconfined
Sense it makes when in this state,
But soon a reminder follows
A quick awakening brings reality, returns normality
To this half-deluded mind
As if to ever find,
Some sort of conclusion
What is normality, but an illusion?

A Dream

To go where the mind is free and wanders into realms of joy.
Written from some place in there held as a place of truth.
That the reality of being in this form we are each day
Is the only hope, that there is perfection but a thought away.
Welcome to Neopoet site and may your dreams be written with quiet truth of what you see and feel, we will worry about form later lol,
Yours Ian.T
