This Obsession with Reality

Nonsensical obsession with Unwise Reality
Not to Realize 
The extent of Reality immersed in Grotesqueness.

Only to be made symmetrical by
Breaking ugly pieces 
Off  
Grotesque hearts
Grotesque faces
Grotesque bodies.

The sole solution to save
the Despicable
the Broken
from itself
and
your eyes.

All that is beautiful lives in Imagination.
You love her,
But you do not know her.

All that is hideous lives in Reality.
You know her,
But you do not love her.

Fantasy is to misinterpret Imagination as Reality
For 
Otherwise, how could so many mate?

And here, 
Beware of Folly.

Wise Reality is to discern Imagination from Reality
For
Otherwise, would you not shun Imagination as well?

  1. be conscious of truth no matter how grotesque. before long, reality merges with imagination. the moments of life's absurdities become both real and fantastical... a two-fer! and an affirmation of existence. that's how i feel.

  2. Fantasy could be argued to be an unconscious merging of reality and imagination, the exact failure to remain conscious of truth no matter how grotesque. The beauty of imagination lies in our awareness that it is truly just imagination, and not reality, thus by that measure, retain its purity as imagination and not let it turn into a fantasy.
