Illusion’s End

Sideways, the clock spins

In spirals, the room turns

Melting, the floor moves

In chaos, the thoughts race

Madly, the heart beats

Black becomes white in this world of confusion

Up becomes down in this realm of illusion

Wrong becomes right in this sphere of delusion

Heart beating wildly in the bliss of the moment

Colours converge in a kaleidoscope of calm

Veins pump in anger as the mind slowly dissolves

Reality vegetates as the world spirals downward

Dust fuelled existence

Escaping the tedium

Drift into the sanctuary

Of joyful delirium

Shadows merge in the darkness

Flowers turning to beasts

Dream filled perfection

Becomes a demon that feasts

Sentient being living life unfulfilled

Seeking refuge and calm in a world full of chaos

Desperation’s point sows it’s seeds of betrayal

Exposing the frailty of a mind lost and confused

Colours collide, become a veil sheathed in black

Curtains are drawn one last time on this act

Death by misadventure

This adventure

Over
