Fantasies' Favours and Flavours

Feel the pulse of the spouse in a house You thought you knew Until your mouth turned into the louse You became as fantasies ate you up anew. Guilt on stilts divorced Sombre sentiments in the mind Imbued with dark thoughts you sourced From reveries that in your house drove you blind. To the hilt you moved the feet Grown sore as you bore boredom With disdain in pain to treat Fantasies frivolously in your kingdom. Don hats of cats and bats When fantasies syncopate In the mind that rains dogs and cats As bonkers you go within your paltry pate. Ashamed you feel to entertain fantasies In hidden heavens where you expiate Dreams society condemns as their ecstasies Guilt of wit fantasies you ingratiate. You walk with your head down Wandering in circles as fantasies heckle The shame you blame on your town Where echoes of injustice inhabit an invincible spectacle. Douse doubt and booze carouse When fantasies take over Realms of possibilities in the blouse You decide insinuates insensitivity in a courier clover. When sleep sets you free You feel aghast you dreamt Fantasies at you laughed with glee As you felt no values lived in lampoon lessons learnt. Why you dare ask fantasies hunt your brain Inside the house you determine to vacate When fantasies in your mind strain The daylight you no longer placate. Gasp in terror and horror When sheets on your bed breathe fire and fury as the dead In droves unleash an odious odour That shakes floundering foundations in your homestead.
