Superficial

I'm visualizing! I am seeing objects Mesmerized - my hypnotic state I appeal Astounding! My pupils dilate at the vivid personality The dreams I dream. They are not real Night after night, sleeping with the twilight It's extreme - frequently I see spirits I am with the dead , halos on my head I go into REM - I remember, too All the pictures that I asleep, then view I capture images - I slur - I speak I tremble through each dream so weak I wake - the superficial reality I've taken control - what a calamity This is real - these eyes saw the light The lenses cracked the picture at dawn I woke - I see - my dream died I ponder - thee kaleidoscope of hues I say in REM if I could only choose Only a figment of my imagination And yes utmost sure of exaggeration The day goes by - I smell a garden I walk the paths. I see sunlight I make it through he day - welcoming the night I pause , I yawn! Deep, deep ,deep Wow! I again sleep! Mental images in my brain Seeing things - I say - I remember them Once upon a time - WOW! Here we go again It's superficial - Don't you know? But wait! The theory is it real? Freud discovered what I might think The elephant is pink- ink blots in my head I'd rather wake and enjoy instead My gardens and I pick the bouquet Tossing this - I'd then thou wed And matter of fact that perfect marriage De ja vu! If only one knew, I'd see That REM is haunting me - be it then be To wake! And realism I accept! WHEW WOW! Til death do us part, the ghost I wed With the halo significantly on my head I am an angel! I am reality. I now see This superficial life I live vividly. I walk the gardens sometimes in my dreams And relationships die it always seems..

"With the halo significantly on my head", impressive. You set the stage for such a strong battle between what allegedly matters and what MUST matter. Excellent job!
