(i)

A Dream

Disfigured

In daylight

Patches

Left behind

As

fodder

To feed on…

                                    (ii)

The Meadows

Withered n yellow

Smoking clouds

Ominous swirls

A bad dream

A nightmare…

                                    (iii)

Shadows crouch

Dancing eerie

Upon every flicker

 till the flame dies

Smolder

Emit smoky trail

Stench of merger

in darkness

Fundamental…

                                    (v)

Alternating frames of
illusions n reality

randomly shuffle

a quirky twist in the
tale

Completely bizarre…
