Phantasmal Peace and Dream on Diet

Phantasmal-image of hand painted yellow flowers in blue background
Phantasmal blooms

Phantasmal falls on my Orthopaedic Pillow

The Rising Sun Keeps a Triangle of Shine

The rising sun keeps a triangle of shine
On my orthopaedic pillow,
Shaping the window which allows its entry.
Thinks it keeps my bones warm. I allow.

Last night it was the moon who passed a joke 
Through her shining beams, in her ravenous tenderness
Expecting the world to come around. It came.

My dreams are slim, on a diet,
So they fit in the slots between reality,
No, not a feministic jibe,
It’s called survival.

The unconscious me crawls to
The surface,
Slowly peeling the onion petals
Spacing as vision-in-lotus,
I vacuum-walk towards the sky
Nebula walking
I can’t count the stars 
But grab some and stick 
It on my page,

The sylvan piece of art 
becomes the sky I wear on
my head,
The sky struggles to fit in the 
Torn piece of paper,

Ordinary sky, punctuated,

That chunk of air stopped using 
semi colons decades ago,
For truth always settles between the lines
When parenthesis lends shelter,
Of what use is a period ?!

Mind is nomad secured from the warmth
Of hand-patched quilt, crochet laced,
And you wonder, if it is romanticism 
of the unknown,
Or, naive flight of an adventurous mind….
The grass is straight and wet.
You often mistake dew for rain.
You may argue both are water.
But will know the truth inside.

No. It did not rain yesterday.
Not everyday does it rain.

Like
Not everyday is Sunday and Caviar
Some are Mondays.
And for decorated gypsies—

Dreams are on diet and peace phantasmal…..

“Although the whole of this life were said to be nothing but a dream and the physical world nothing but a phantasm, I should call this dream or phatasm real enough, if, using reason well, we were never deceived by it.”-by Baron Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz
