today
emerging in luminous thoughts
like symphonies spreading through space
speechless moments we share in the depth of yearning eyes
this place
where demons and angels unite
and soft clouds embrace fragrant dreams
protecting a treasure most precious from the storm
at last
joined in this rare point in time
together we carry the weight
in the mutual awe of a fragile dance we meet
unreal
such powerful fortune unfolds
the chain of events it would take
at the edge of this day i still stand in disbelief
today
emerging in luminous thoughts
like symphonies spreading through space
speechless moments we share in the depth of yearning eyes
and soon
in dreamlike reflection we smile
nearly missed our chance that would shape
this unwritten chapter of voyages entwined

sanctuary
black hole
to feel its soothing pulse again
over and over back into that prison
where demons wallow in shattered dreams
warping, coiling, overwhelming
day and night into ruin alone
sweeter the taste of oblivion
starving, trapping, soul tormenting
halted advance in dilated time
past and present ensnared in chains
circling, drowning, all-consuming
regret's shadow never finds rest
no way out for a toppled mind
in free fall around the twisting
pulled apart and never pieced together
can sleeping angels still hunger for life
and again and again and again
and again
and again and again and again
and again
in free fall around the twisting
circling, drowning, all-consuming
starving, trapping, soul tormenting
warping, coiling, overwhelming
to feel its soothing pulse again
slipping
and here you walk
not really you
and here you talk
yourself into
a recurring nightmare
please wake up again
don't give in
please
and here you walk
yes, sometimes you
and here you talk
yourself into
a little lucid moment
please don't leave again
stay with me
please
person in the gaps
each step light as a feather
we wander through the snow
here hand in hand together
from heart to heart aglow
immersed in joyous chatter
so gentle, true and kind
the air filled with your laughter
warmed by your caring mind
your eyes lit up with wonder
a soul shining so bright
the spell that i am under
enchanted by your light
count to eight
and again
and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again
and again
and again and again and again
and again and again
and again and again
and again
and again and again
and again and again and again and again
and again
and again and again
and again
and again
and again and again
and again and again
and again and again and again
and again and again
and again and again and again
and again
and again
and again
and again
and again and again
and again
and again
and again and again and again
and again
and again and again and again and again
and again and again
and again
and again and again and again
and again and again
lion's den
timid steps shuffle across cold floors
your trembling voice still carries the load
empty eyes dart frightened through the hallway
a scared child locking onto the unreachable
in futile attempts to sleep and forget
inside these walls you hide from life
behold this museum for a grand existence
the final bastion of squandered chances
day after day you long for escape
and always run back into this hell
you chase the illusion of salvation
the beast that only you can tame
