crazy dreams lead
the imp of the perverse
where it is told not to inhabit,
caught between the ideal
the desired
and the accepted,
fearful and unsure
it is confused
which truth to believe,
choices leading down
a dark path to happiness
or a bright slope into regret,
pushed by cosmic forces
to walk the course of possibility
pulled by societal urges
to coast the hill of promises,
dizzy from the
vertigo of tension
the imp spins circles
but never loses the focal point,
the point of possibility
the point of desire
the point at the end
of the path not suggested,
loudly the other voice
subjects it
disdains it
names it unholy,
with an uncompromising purity
the point of possibility
lets itself be known,
not needing trickery
nor judgemental opinion
surviving on truth,
a peaceful assertion
not requiring a battle axe
to prove its valor,
with its purity of heart
untarnished by expectations
promise conquers tainted pressures.
