When Harmony Faltered

Enamored with desire Genuine tug she felt Cuddling sensual love Till knock on the door Startled her vision. Reluctantly she awoke Knowing why he came As familiar vibrations Announced his name Sounding a warning When harmony faltered As the songbird missed Its rhythm on purpose Alerting her sanctity To resume her dream Opting veritable fantasy Over spurious reality.

Sometimes fantasy is more welcoming than reality. Sad she got interrupted in her dream. The poem is concluded with a salient truth....!

When reality eludes us, desire, fantasy and imagination often collude to bring about desired results, Vijay. ~ Regards // paul

Sometimes the dream is so much better than reality...and it's hard to give up the dream. Lovely poem, Vijay.

This has a kind of mysteriousness to it, I love the "veritable fantasy over spurious reality" Very clever way to end it!

I will choose a pair of rose colored shades any day to dark and sombre ones, even if it means I have to pretend. Lovely write Vij,

"Sounding a warning When harmony faltered As the songbird missed Its rhythm on purpose" I love this stanza. I think we need fantasy sometimes; makes reality easier to bear.
