Pinches

The wishes spent on pennies in fountains
and shooting stars are nothing
but forgotten dreams.

Run away from the haunted and
stay in a state of consciousness.
Face the demons behind the

shadows of your distant fears.
Climb walls entangled with
the poisonous of vines.

Deeply slumber away
 in a field of lilies,
and kiss the moon goodnight.

Heartaches vanish at the
thought of pure imagination.
Happy ever afters with

no reason for sadness.
In reality, all we do is live.
We wonder what the words

of our farthest away thoughts
bring to the equation.
Now, time can be funny in

dreams as well in the
actuality of our world.
One minute your painting sunsets

and the next your free falling.
Never knowing if it's for love or
just tripping down a black hole.

The pain is enough to
make you want to wake.
Just close your eyes and pinch.

It usually does the trick.

Squeeze.

Awake from your cleverness and
hold onto the hallucinations
your mind fools you into seeing.
