Intro - the 'Real' Sonnet

Ghosts outside your door
Open slowly for emphasis
Fade out- end of trailer 
Cling tighter to him
Passionate kiss
Happy love montage 
Fade out- end of trailer
Alien watches from above
Hero comes from earth to stop 'em
finally arrives and gasps
Fade out- end of trailer

So what really is reality?
Ask Plato not me,
Is it worth searching finally?
Movie type stories aren't free.
The price is true understanding
No bodies wishing for a plain life
So we lie to get this understanding
Look around nobody is flying kites
Listen to the piano riff drive though
The power of the moment is pure
The credits push back the real you
But, by then the sonnet is unsure
  For time heals all of one's wounds 
  Except the ones keep in your swoon
