Madness of More

in a dream
I lingered
in its stream
I hungered
      for a more vivid illusion
      more aesthetically pleasing
      to exist within a delusion
      and suddenly I was seizing
a stunning opportunity
enchanted and hypnotized
I waved good-bye to reality
and slowly opened my eyes
       and now I linger
       in the madness of a dream
       I no longer hunger
       consumed by my scream

Thought I'd pop in and see if you were still dreaming my friend.

I am enchanted and hypnotized by these descriptive words waving goodbye to reality. I enjoyed this very much.

You tell a story with such freshness and reality that it soon attaches itself to our reality and we take partial ownership of the emotions poured forth. Emile.

Sometimes it is hard to discern dreams from reality.....truly becomes a madness.

That must've been some dream Christy if it is still ongoing. Once again, wonderfully creative and expressive.
