Reality's Dream

This hand in front of my face is real

 

… unless this hand caresses dreams

 

Waving languidly at lovers setting sail

 

In hazy horizons abandoned by tomorrows… never realized

 

…forever idealized

 

 

This ache in my chest is real …

 

Unless uselessly longing for something never meant to be

 

The proverbial “gypsy proverb” realized into unreality

 

… wishing too hard for  a "thing”

 

“It” turning out to have a nasty sting

 

... African bees of desire

 

 

 

Paintings on gallery walls reflect realism ...

 

At least as seen through eyes of madmen

 

...or innovated via plain old skullduggery ... colour, light and shadows run deep

 

...genius is a wild card ... the poetic … often prophetic fifth ace

 

Slipped unsuspectedly ... into the deck … vision and purpose

 

Running neck and neck

 

 

 

We try to make sense of it all because …

 

Everyone around us

 

Declares it to be ... until that pinnacle moment when an 

 

Uncensored innocent cries out

 

"It wears no clothes!” and suddenly 

 

We're forever afraid of honey bees and reality seems full of shit subject to subjectivities ...

 

 

 

My words are real…

 

As a whole we identify with every phrase written

 

… and yet … reality cannot dispel our dreams

 

Our dreams are steamships making passage through dark nights of the soul

 

Insubstantalisms carefully threading their way through massive icebergs of realisms 90%  unseen

 

... fuelling endless possibilities

 

... and so we dream

    This is an interesting exploration of reality, first in body, than body and spirit (emotions). Then it takes you on a journey through the ambitions of artists and society's stoppage of flow - flow is reality - Bach means brook, as an aside. Ending in dreams, illusions where reality is furthest away - funny that the body becomes immobile. I was having a discussion about this last night, how the body pokes its way into dreams, though primarily insensible in this condition - representing not stasis of body (in reality the body is quite fluid), but in the paralysis of sleep that of mind and its inability to comprehend reality on its own. This also leads to certain inadequacies, etc.

    Creative use of words and images: honey bees for instance - both sweet and with a sting, insubstantialisms and the reverse logic of an uncensored innocent. Cool stuff.
