THE JOURNEY
img
I stand in the space between both worlds,
The realm between fantasy and reality.
Deep from the bowels of broken dreams.
I hear sweet whispers and screams.
My mind trapped in the phantom world of imagination,
My body belonging to the bitter world of constriction.
Once upon a mind's journey in a dream of lucidity,
I sat as a young scribe of an aged wise scholar.
Remnant words of the old sage recalled from memory
"Your state of mind is your only treasury..."
Once upon a real journey in a realm of mortality,
I listened to the words of a departed wise man.
Truthful words of my father recalled by choosing,
"You stop moving, you start losing..."
The mind trapped, The body belonging,
Tug of war within my being.
Thanks for reading :-)

Awesome and informative post thanks to share dear
I can really feel the ambivalence in these verses. That kind of push/pull twisted up inside feeling when something is really causing an anxious debate in your head. As with all poetry this is an interpretation and I'm not sure if I got it right.
These final lines were really strong @abmakko. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in your poem
You are on the right track @raj808. that tugging motion is the picture I wanted to paint... when you live in two separate but parallel worlds between the physical world and the free-world of imagination
