Reverie Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

When senses returned
after another binge
he tried to balance
his senses between the
conscious and unconscious.
And he yearned to return to
the shallow depths of
forgetfulness that
spirit provided.

When he loses his senses
when in the clutches
of spirit gifted liberation
he felt like being on the summit,
and the emotions danced
to his tunes
and he reigned supreme.

He traversed with the spirit
and inhabited the
sidelines of existence
with a spiritual zeal.
Fluttering memories
were stitched together
and he wore a garment
of transient comfort.

When the disappearing
memories refused to return
spirit took over the reins.
Even in his half awake state
he felt happy
to be under the reign of
intoxication.
And no qualms had he
to be one with it
It was just another reverie
He didn't care about
waking up at all.
