24 "Sitting still as a way of falling in love with the world. I'd seldom thought of it that way" / - Pico Iyer
In you I heard an echo of a voice i thought was lost to me A voice that only runs through dreams It anchors my drifting mind A balm to every wound This voice It bends my ear to its sweet alluring tone, Softer than prayer This voice Lifts my face to the sun This voice Nearer than memory One I hoped to hear again when comes my time But that voice can only belong to one, so who is this that I hear in you?

This voice
Peace is holding your breath in my mouth as we move together in rhythm and pace Peace is feeling your skin on mine from breaking dawn through to deep slumber Peace is the sound of your laughter ringing in my ears and filling our bubble with light Peace is your fingers interlacing mine In the weight of you in my arms as your eyes search mine Its in the way you wander through my mind leaving traces of us in song

There's a spark in your eyes that makes me jealous... Even hope doesn't shimmer that bright. ... look in to my eyes. down, down, down it goes. this abyss of nothing whole. galaxies made of broken pieces of me. hollowed voices drift from every chasm of a fractured soul. this darkness is greedy. so close your eyes, and pull yourself away. before these hollowed voices beguile you, before galaxies transfix your gaze and siphon your light. so close your eyes, and pull yourself away. Because there's a glint in my eye, that's beginning to make you jealous.

Light & Dark
I'll sit.... ...and I'll wait. Beat me, brand me, berate me. I'll sit... ...and I'll wait. Tell me I'm nothing, tell me we were nothing, tell me you don't love me. ...Still... I'll sit... ...and I'll wait. Starve me of your attention, disappear from my sight, remove all memories of us. And still... I'll sit... ...and I'll wait. "Poor idiot." They'll say. "She'll wait forever if she doesn't learn to leave for herself."

Sitting & Waiting
I want nothing and everything in order, Every shade of pink, And hue of blue, I’ll paint every edge and corner of my mind with every colour of you.

Shades
You gave me your hand, I gave you my heart, Together we wander Hand in hand Through Valleys, Across Rivers, Over Mountains. Hand in hand. But then you went somewhere I could not follow. Through the parting veil you slipped. Beyond my sight. To a place where only my heart can cling to you, And though my path is shrouded, There's a single thought that gives me light, I'll love you with every beat of my Phantom heart.

My Phantom Heart
There was a sparkle in her eye that would set my heart on fire, Even though it burned, the blisters were worth the softness of her lips against mine. But blisters burst Open wounds fester Flames turn to wildfire Then all I could taste was smoke And I begged for it to rain.

Fire
"There you are!" cried my lips. "Where have you been?" wept my eyes. "Just as I remember" sang my arms. "Never leave again" whispered my heart.

Searching
Falling in Love with you was like drowning in an Ocean. There came a point when My lungs stopped screaming. Panic turned to Peace. I closed my eyes and there was calm.

Drowning
In my rush to empty you from me I spilled a small drop of myself I'll keep pouring you away... Perhaps the parts of me that spill with you Were never really me.
