Is it really morning
Or is it just structures emerging from a pink horizon?
My eyes are wide open
And I am still awake, challenging the sun
Is it really mid-day
Or is it just me feeling the fire within building a fear?
My eyes are watery
And I am still squinting, hoping for the view to clear
Is it really raining
Or is it my tears flowing, drenching me completely?
My eyes are blinking
And I am still gasping for breath, wheezing heavily
Is it really nightfall
Or is it my vanity that has unfolded its dark sheet?
My eyes are darting
And I am still walking into chairs, hurting my feet
Is it really real
Or is it another game of virtual reality without any rule?
My eyes are glazed
And I am still alive, not knowing if I am wise or a fool
How I write, is mine...How you read, is yours 
Words fail me as usual. I can only state that this poem is true about my rhetorics as much as yours.
Just one word – Wow!! 🙂
Just a word in return.. Thanks !!!! 😉
Any one with these words ain’t no fool!
(wo)- maaaaaannnnnn I am just floored.. what imagery.. what amazes me that you do fiction as if you were watching that unfold before you!!
Hats off to you for the image. I actually took time to check out the elements in it.
I am almost puddled.. now sliding so I get off before I am vaporised..
Hugs xoxox
hehehe..thanks, Olivia.. the poem, on the whole might be fiction, but certain stanzas, separately, could have been all too real… I think I was inspired by the sun rays falling into my eyes 🙂 Yea.. I know… weird ol’ me 🙂
Glad you liked it! :))
As for the image, boooyyy… I feel so THRILLED when I find an image that perfectly matches the sentiments of the poem… it’s like a treasure!
Now now… don’t ya get vaporized.. we have many things to work on! 🙂
Join the club Kavita… 🙂

Oh thank you so much for the appreciation and kind words, Chimnese… I guess a little bit of reflection does help after all.. de-muddles the mind to some extent… no?! 🙂

I agree, when you find an image that fits, that makes it much more refreshing.
Really!! And I am glad you liked the picture for this poem, Reggie.. thank you…
Bless the wonderful artist that made the picture.. 🙂
Impressive world you take us into… It would be the world of total doubt if not for “And I am still alive…”
Well said, Seabell… the life we have is a huge opportunity to learn, and to know !
Glad you liked this poem, my friend..
I see “wisdom”…thus you are wise. Great poem Kavita.

Glad you liked this one, Paulami… thanks!!
What can I say but awesome.. You deliver it all in this poem of yours.. The flow was perfect fit to what is needed to know.. but at times, we can’t really tell, can we?? *wink*

Glad you liked this one, my dear friend.. thank youuu!!

lol.. this is wonderful kavi.. here’s mine.. http://fiveloaf.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/wedged/
teeheehe,.. thanks, Kris!!
Beautiful and complex in its simple questioning…the answers can vary as each a different imagery in the poem.
You can say that again, Rekha.. it’s the answers and the the emotions attached to those answers that are really interesting to read 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the read, my friend.. thank you..
The need to know.
I flew into LA from London and went to bed when it was dark. I woke in half light with an earth tremor. Only a little shake. Phoned the front desk ‘what time is it’
‘It’s 6 oclock Maam’
‘Would that be morning or evening would you know ?’
Love the poem and the image.
I get it, tigerbrite! Ambiguity really sucks! Customer services should really learn that, ya know 🙂

I liked the progression as the day slid by, and you described it well, very astutely. There was the virtual reality but it was painted in real llife terms, like stepping into a M.C. Escher picture, looking for the edges between realitiy and imagination.
Ooohh…that was quite a compliment, Dan.. thank you so very much! I am glad you liked and enjoyed what you read here..
One of the best poems I have across off late . Deeply introspective.
WOW!! Thanks, Karthik… very generous and kind of you to say that.. I am honored!
enjoyed ur take….the stanzas can be read separately too!!!!! Thnx…
Gee.. thank you so much, Meghna… Am glad you saw it that way.. I really appreciate your words here..
It’s good, and I like the questioning of everything, makes you think
hope it get you thinking too hard, T 🙂
But I am glad you liked it.. thank you!!!
deep thoughts and a pleasure to read
Aww.. thanks , my friend…
honest writing and true questions of perception
Thanks for the kind words,Anju (?).. I really appreciate it..
