The Real World

 The Sunday Muse #187





A dark shadow breathes,

In the empty spaces

The rusted mind moves in circular motion

Chasing truth in bits and pieces.

Reality is just a lie!.


There are those wandering hours 

Enveloped in  darkness

Into the unknown world,

A world filled with illusions

Spiralling in a  hallucinating blackhole.

People are just an existence!


The eyes only meet

Shapeless entrances and entities 

Conversation within the empty walls

Echoes in silent resonance.

No key can open these shadowless doors!

(Dementia- when a dear one goes through this phase, you are left with  a helpless feeling)

    1. Shay, not something you will wish for anybody. Very difficult to accept once it hits home.

  3. I like your form with a concluding opinion for each verse and even one for your single word, dementia, note. Dementia often comes with Alzheimers Disease, horrible, we all dread its threat.

  4. This hit a little harder today--evocative and terrifying.

  7. If you are hoping Sunita, even envisioning opening a door onto reality - reality has fractured and their all watching different movies. Like your piece here! 🙂
