Awakening.

Which is better, dream or reality?

I look around the things I have and I call

this a perfect world. This place is immensely

filled with surreal beauty. There exists no wall,

happiness is always within my reach truly.

 

I could feel love in the air all the time.

I'm forever protected by the web of love spun

by the people I love. I realize how lucky I am

to live in this world where I am the favored son.

 

Suddenly a blinding light hits my face, the world

seemed to be a blur. The evanescence led to darkness.

The enchanted happiness faded away when reality unfurled.

Everything just drifted away, I could only feel numbness.

 

I opened my eyes and I found myself lost in the reality.

The dream seemed so real. Is this called a rude awakening?

I couldn't feel love in the air; it has lost its contained vitality.

Senses tired of searching for happiness, is now weakening.

 

I was building a perfect world of my own design

and suddenly everything began to fall apart.

Now I'm brought back to a world of different reign.

In this reign, I cannot figure out my part.

 

I’m back to this world of a different ruler with a complex design.

The ruler; a true lover of enigma, complexities, and ciphers.

Forever his identity remains concealed and forever his divine

Intervention sought hoping one day all the puzzle, he deciphers.

 

My path in this world has gone awry. My legs tremble

as it is tired of all the travel. Eagerly awaiting for the sandman

to take me to my realm forever, I reminisce  the memorable

times I had here. I hear him coming, here begins my new lifespan.

Wow... I am speechless, the words just flow, the story/piece all flows together and the best part is I can relate to it and that makes it the most enjoyable. i haven't read your other pieces yet so I cannot judge if it the best poem you have ever written but because this was so good I think I will and want to read what you have. So keep writing and share away!!!

Intriguing.

I love that film and also enjoy poems and stories in which the speaker is an unreliable (or soon-to-be enlightened) narrator.

You're right, I did enjoy this. It was beautiful at the beginning then sad towards the end. We can never have a perfect reality, maybe not even perfect dreams. Something is always there to tear us down.
Great work of art.
