dead men can dream.
By sanglante
if only I could sleep
and dream forever.
the harsh and
dissonant
reality I am in
would easily melt and meld
into the bright and
beautiful
swirling colours in my head.
no more details,
or frustration would strike me.
in my dreams the world is shining.
I wish to sleep constantly,
so that my dreams could
become
my reality;
but as soon as I sleep,
I wake instantly
and so I've always believed
that only the dead can sleep peacefully.

your writing has grown so much... i am glad you're still dreaming... there is probably no art in peace, though, as wonderful as it sounds.

Zombies, vampires, and other restless spirits would beg to differ. Much enjoyed the piece, sounds like maybe you work nights? Cheers!

I like it, but I think you should add more. I wasn't ready for it to end! I think there is so much more to explore here and if you do, I'd love to be informed. If not, I'll just have to read it more than once a sitting :) Dreams are a favorite subject of mine.
