Dreams and nightmares--which are worse?

Dreamcatcher-Poem By Ginger Strivelli

A dreamcatcher is suppose to somehow magically trap
All nightmares and assorted disturbing subconscious crap
But can it also manage to banish
those pleasant dreams that evaporate and vanish
When I wake to only dull cruel reality
And find the joy and excitement was just fantasy?
Can the webbed charm chase away or ensnare
Those dreams of happiness that are unreal and unfair?
Nightmares I can usually endure and always recover from
But waking up from those enchanting dreams leaves me numb.
Can my dreamcatcher charm protect me from those?
For they are the dreams that are my worst foes.
I don't want to dream of fear and panic and pain
But I'd rather not dream of contentment that only will wane
Once I reopen my eyes upon the real world view
And give Melancholy another chance to overtake me anew.

Black and white life-Poem By Ginger Strivelli

I dream in colored light
but I cruelly wake
to a black and white
Life that seems so fake

Alas, why is my reality
in black and white
While every fantasy
is in color, so bright

Fighting through grey hues
I must live colorfully
rejecting shadowy woes
and endless melancholy

I must visualize and conjure
a vividly colorful reflection
Contrasting this dull here
and now black and white vision
