Analysis of Dreamy Illusion

Akheerah 2001 (Kaduna)



When the wind whisper,
I searches the path of my thoughts,
Emptiness twisted my serened mind,
I let my shadow falls as fear crawled amidst happiness.

The hue of facade turned a desert
With my fairness to the sea,
The enticing cheers of eerie is lost in the realm of Fame,

I grabbed mirage and it became reality,
Pretense became truth,
Its flame blister my sanity,
Then doom claimed me in whole.
