Was it always this way, or just my oblivion was the sleigh? or was it this nightmare the real world that made my sweet dreams, go astray? Are these undergrowth and gardens in my dream, heaven, a shared godly dream? Maybe we shield our screams by sugar coding our blues, like a dummy always smiling, sitting on the same shelves of views, dusting them every once in a while, but never dusting what they stand for, or descry their cliches, or never running into the sciolism their disconcerting habitus could construe. Then when all the sweetness is licked away maybe farewell is all that there is we could ever say. Maybe this fatigue, these runnings nights and days, all the way, are some debts we ought to pay. Maybe these breathless sways, aren’t between here and there, but are between oncoming and the keep fleeting, faraway. Maybe not to be, is the right way to be. Maybe it is just me in this hellhole who is enchained for pleading like branches to be free, shackled to such bifurcating roots, lurking and disseminating beneath a tree! Maybe my fineness is crude. Maybe these flowers are only some nefarious thorns' idiosyncrasy. Maybe my big heart is my death knell. Maybe a big heart is a farewell to this hell, the fire that our nights, from our ashes like the scintillating sparks, dispel.
