Fancy or Imagination

A poem that dwells with the mindscape, by Dr. Alok, exclusively for Different Truths.

Fantasising imagination one adds extra alluring feather
One is being acknowledged as the cap uniqueness triggers
Imagination gets wings to fly over scenic hilltops
Sugar-coated thoughts hover after mouthwatering lollipops
Landing on islet encircled by deep blue lagoon
Lofty wishes dance in glee teasing the silvery moon
Navigation by the mind is endless adventure sans any bounds
Imagination crops up there when iconic ethereal feeling moulds
Imagery, emotional upheaval builds mounting pressure umpteen
Surreal urge breeds familiar havoc quite amusing but unseen
Imagination when gets the Midas touch of fancy
It gets the shape, aura and perfume to cherish proficiency
Fancy is the outer crust of the oyster that sustains
Imagination is the priceless pearl that brings dividends
When both join hands the seed of eye-catching creativity germinates
If both fall apart by fencing pure novelty terminates.
