“Are You For Real”

“Are You For Real”

By Derek Felix

Are you for real

Or an illusion

Do you know how I feel

Or is it just confusion

You have an aura that’s easy to admire

That reminds me of a golden star

A kindhearted soul full of fire and desire

Whose intentions are to go far

It has me thinking

Like Tinkerbell sprinkling fairy dust

The special effects have me blinking

Am I ready to believe and trust

The mind plays head games

While the heart remains pure

Will life change or still be the same

You could be a legendary folklore

Is it just fantasy or reality

I close my eyes

And daydream of the possibility

Now, I study the fluorescent sky and visualize

The sunset gives way

Into another cool night

That makes me appreciate the day

As I admire the starlight

The scenery is full of wonder

Creating another dimension beyond comprehension

Are we truly here or down under

The universe grabs our attention

Which brings me back to you

Are you a great one like I read

My first impression is that you’re authentic and true

Maybe you’re really all I need

Is This Heaven

“Is This Heaven”

By Derek F

You take a drive to a real nice place

To escape from the noise without a trace

There’s peace and quiet when you arrive

It’s mother nature that makes you feel alive

Its surroundings remind you of what life is all about

The familiar outdoors warms your heart away from the doubt

It’s easy to see why you came all this way

To help offset the distractions on a pleasant summer day

You walk towards the gazebo that overlooks the shore

Instead of something loud, you hear a more calm roar

It’s that of the ocean as waves hit the beach

Even better, you stand above with it within reach

It makes for a perfect postcard on the way back, which is enough

Maybe you’ll show it to someone who enjoys that sorta stuff

Such lovely memories can be shared with each other

All it takes is someone cool to have one another

Is this heaven

Or is it just fantasy

Is this heaven

Let’s chill and make it reality

“Perception”

“Perception”

By Derek Felix AKA DFlex

You know me

But you don’t know who I am

I know you

But I don’t know who you are

I see you

In a way, that makes sense

What do you see

When our eyes meet

Are you for real

In how I read you

Or am I daydreaming

Into truly believing

What am I in your world

Can you see me

If you can, what’s your perception

Is it possible in reality

“Dreams or Fantasy”

“Dreams or Fantasy”

By Derek Felix AKA DFlex

We all have dreams
That we picture over the stars
Turning us into kings and queens
Driving through the air in futuristic cars

Into a galaxy far beyond
That captivates us into a flashy daze
Like the sun magnifying a pond
Flying faster than a legendary Mays

We track things we don’t often see
Then, catch a glimpse of intrigue and mystery
Creating an illusion that becomes a fantasy
Something that’s a great escape from reality

It’s the subconscious state that runs parallel
As our minds journey into a unique place
There we are at the bottom of a wishing well
It’s everything we’ve ever dreamed, like outer space

These are what dreams are made of every night
As we admire the full moon overlooking our world
It’s an electrifying light that makes it out of sight
Or something fancier like golden diamonds and pearls

It’ll make your eyes blink in admiration
Is this the real thing, or a beautiful odyssey
How we all have wandered into a dreamy vacation
That’ll always make us wonder about making real the fantasy
