A darker tone tonight.  No reason except that this is what fell out of my brain. 

Enjoy and let me know what you think.

A Real Delusion

I dream I wake I realize,
I’m still within the dream.
Awake, asleep, I cannot tell,
If things are what they seem.

This person speaks to me I swear,
I do not know their name.
And though I walk it every day,
This street is not the same.

Days pass in here they turn to weeks,
I’m starting to forget.
The other world the waking world,
I’m hanging on but yet.

The doctors say that I am ill,
A sickness of the mind.
They give me pills and talk with me,
They really are most kind.

I only see my waking world,
When I am fast asleep,
It’s getting hard to hold onto,
The memories that I keep.

Last night I dreamed that I awoke,
Next to I knew not who.
She woke then wept and told me that,
It’s she I’m married to.

But now I’m back in land of dreams,
The doctor ups my dose.
But I can feel my home again,
So faint but oh so close.

I tell the Doc I want the cure.
He’s bound to set me right.
But with his help despite his help.
I’m going home tonight.

Cheers, Winston
