Don't think
Don't even open your eyes
because all I want from reality
is to dream
one thousand sweet sugar cubes
one hundred miles long
with deserts purely of salt-(tear)
encrusted sand as far as the eye can see
blaring sun of sound
never giving your ears a rest
until the soft lullaby of the moon
drowns it out
paths upon paths
and mazes within mazes
never asked to be so lost
but somehow, i don't mind
one shade too dark
or perhaps the light is not enough
who even knows
all I want is to see the path ahead
castles upon castles
with towers higher than the clouds
but all they really are
is just rocks and stones
a million billion tiny lights
blinking out one by one
sometimes by the thousands, no millions
and all one can do is watch
i don't feel like sleeping
i feel like dreaming
only with my eyes open
that way i will never have to wake from it

This was almost purely inspired by this thought/line crossing my mind. "I want to think of things that don't have to be real."
Well, that line and me wanting to do another stream of consciousness piece. So I blame both of those for this.
Comments are loved. Do you like it? Hate it? What do you like/hate about it? Should I keep doing stream-of-consciousness pieces? Or should I stop completely?

I want to comment this, because I feel with it so much, but I am speachless, and can't think of anything I could say that would be enough to praise this ;_; it's just too perfect
