IGNIS FATUUS

a phantom in my fantasy
a vision of trickery
a fool's paradise
a lapse in time
unsure, uncertain, unclear

an elaborate caricature
of a pipe dream
uncolored drawings
a fabrication
envisioning an idea of a nightmare

yearning, crying, learning
we are all inclined to do so
your ambivalence is debatable
your stare is vacillating
clashing, ringing, unending

a whimsical trend of amusement
for a while, it was fun
but a passing fancy will never be enough
your humor is a wrinkle in Time
a fool's notion, a fashion

a dramatic concoction of reality
a tale of a novel of a legend
I have to wake up soon
your illusion is diminishing
now you're nothing but déjà vu

exodus finally came
I'm opening my tired eyes
you are but a myth in my zest
I am finally unfolding
valid, unshaken, actual
