Flirting with Insanity
©2011Catalina Pacheco

Insanity
What is it
A divorce from reality
An overdose of fantasy
Or an inexplicable fracture of the two

Insanity
How’s it start
A smile when alone
Laughter from silent unspoken jokes
A conversation with invisibles

Slipping
Falling into it
That gracious abyss
Delusions so intoxicating
That reality is given a sabbatical

Reality
So painfully feral
It bites and tears at you
Turn days into years
And hope into shifting sand

Insanity
How’s it feel
I’m not sure yet but maybe
Your soul becomes numb, weightless
Realilty’s sun sets as fantasy’s moon rises

Awakened
Into alternate eyes
Joy only you can feel
Fear only you can sense and hear
Pain, Yes pain that constant close companion

Insanity
No, I don’t know him (Yet)
He’s flirting with my sanity
And has been known to temporarily
Take hold of a few “people”.
