In my arms - thought - my words
you are malleable wax, a diamond
that reveals itself. Light of the tunnel, you!
The pyramid catches hold of our hands.
We become transparent, we become translucent.
Alone. I come near you ascending from time's
shadow. Free, free from everything and alone.
Above the city - fiery halo -
bodies float void of fear. The future
becomes present, the present, hope.

Liviu Antonesei

Through Your Darkness

An ocean apart but only a moon away
I would climb through your darkness on broken and ****** knees
Drown in your tears to hold your heart up
Sacrifice my soul and turn your lead wings back to gold
I would give my heart to your prayers
Your beauty is more important than air to my lungs
Cross the ocean by moon
And slide into your dreams
And you can slip into my bed
Where we'll both fall as we sleep

Home It Can Never Be

Home it can never be when you're across the sea
My hearts flown off to you
And there's nothing I can do
Lonely beneath the moon
Wanting only you
Home it can never be when your hands are in a far off land
My dreams have run to you
Leaving me blue alone under this dying moon
Longing to sit with you
Home it can never be when you're not filling my empty arms
My wishes would die for you
And I would pull down this fading moon
And cross the sea
And find the land
Where I would find you
And then at home
I would always be

My Love

Come with me my love
Under the depths between us
Under the darkness within us
Under the dreams that bind us
Come with me my love
Under the sheets of endless time
Under the night of forever more
Under the moon where I'm eternaly yours
Come with me my love
Take the blood in my heart so your heart may live
Steal the air from my lungs so you may breathe
Use my bones and my marrow and all of my thread
And mend your wings
Find your voice
Let your beauty shine through
I would be less than nothing
Without this dreaming of you
Come with me my love
I'm dying for you

Treehouse Under the Sea

I was trapped by a picture
And softly my finger
Traced her eyes
Her lips
And trembled
As running slowly
Along the line
Of her hair
And I felt like
A madman
At the end of the ocean
In the secret dark depths
Of the sea
And I felt like I was
Drowning
And dreaming
And falling
And finding a new world
Where everything
Was upside down
But felt
Right side up
I saw mermaids flying
Above a sun
And dragons swimming
With me as I was lost
In this sea
Monsters crawled
Out from under
Beds and closets and mirrors
And waves crashed
And storms screamed
And rain fell
With acid
And razors
And warnings
Everything
Shouting
Run boy
...
Run
...

And
I stood there
Still as could be
Smiling
As the rain cut
Through my skin
Then dissolving
My bones
Until all that was
Left
Was my
Heart
And my
Ghost
And we danced
My heart, ghost
And me
We danced
With the monsters
And laughed
At the rain
And we sang
Without voices
And we moved
Without bones
And we stumbled
Upon a lost
Tree under
This sea
And a house
Was hiding
Amongst its
Branches and
Leaves
And my hands
Trembled
And my heart
Raced
As I knew
If I dared
Climb
Up
What I would
Find
Not just
Her picture
Not just
Her face
It would
Be her
Everything
Her monsters
And loathing
Her darkness
And demons
Her bruises
And scars
Her past
And
Secrets
And
Doubts
And under
All of her
Everything
Was
Her heart
And
Her hopes
And
Her dreams
And
Her eyes
Which
Held a
Light
Which hid
An endless
Ocean
Where
Only madmen
Could see
The truth
Of her
Beauty
And
Love
My heart
Said climb
My feet
Said run
But all
I had left was
My heart
And my
Ghost
I couldn't
Climb
I couldn't
Run
I could not
Even make
A sound
She was
Waiting
And
Hiding
And
I was helplessly
Stuck far down
Below

Homes Are Not People

Faces only remind you of
How lonely you are,
You say you've swam too far
Into the sea of your regrets
That I am your lifeboat
But didn't you hear
I sank long, long ago?

You've been searching
For a new home,
One that doesn't creak
Or shudder at night.
But homes are not people
And your voice cracks
As you point out
There's a welcome mat
By the front door
But I never answer
When you knock.

It's been a while since
I started attracting
Strangers with flashlights
To search me like
A haunted place.
I finally realized they
Were the ones that
Needed scaring away.

It's so odd to think,
You once told me
You saw beauty
In clifftops,
And I thought you
Were talking about
The view.

Torin

It's only rain

I like to know how you feel
Set my eyes on your heart
You love my words
I love your night
Make the day your hope
A soul trying not to hurt
A soul lost in pain

It's just rain

Think the way of light
Remember my song
People's minds make bodies cold
A reason why I drink
Smile a little darkness
Sleep in the arms of the sun
Broken I suppose
Tears are gonna fall

It's only rain
