music fills the air with joy
it brings sadness and happiness
note fly high above the clouds
while down below we dance to its enjoyment

although i may not be good at it
i very much enjoy the emotions it brings

it's funny how a song can bring sorrow at one moment
and a joyous trance the next

Music marks special occasions
remember the song that placed when you met "the one"
or maybe the song playing at the dance when you experienced your first kiss

how such a simple thing can do so much
decades people have embraced such a simple but complex thing
what many people take for granted, most can't live without

I am standing here,
breathing deep in the cold brittle air.
Trying to find you.

Cobblestone paths,
and old broken roads,
I travel for days,
that quickly turn to years.

I've seen these places before,
but they seem pure and new.
Still searching.
Always searching.

It’s like you're walking on
unbreakable ice,
and I’m underneath you trying to fight through.
The current keeps pulling me,
further.

There you are.
Just above me.

Still searching.
Always searching.

I can see your shadow, your outline.
The cold blurs your face.
Only, I know it’s you.

While we search and wonder
still, the current pulls me further.

For now I’ll just be here under skies and ice,
trying to breathe,
as I wonder below you.

Preparing for the right,
and expecting the average, no less.


Still searching.
Always searching.

The passage is dark and deep
Forever going in the darkest dreams
The rooms all different
All bathed in the half light
As I'm dragged along
Twisting and contorting
To see it all before I'm gone

A room with knives
And one solitary chair
Where I would sit and loving stare
It leads to a room of headless snakes
A twirling kaleidoscope
Of red and green
Tinged in death
Maddening dreams

The room in which
I was locked
The door is stuck
I am weak
There is no
way to escape
these walls
the endless
passages
of haunting halls

Leading down the hall again
Leads us to a room in which
Indian movies music played
The screen danced and flicked
while your body flicked along,
foam crawling out your mouth
eyes rolling back
In this boys dream
a mother screams
And I can do nothing,
yet again
Of youth and age and memories

Another door yet to open
of sickness repression
Of warmth and senses
Smell taste touch
The heat burns of this childish lust
The wolf froths and growls
Its teeth glisten
And I scream
A dream within a dream

We climb up the stairs
as they curve and crack
splinters of this dream
ever more it will seem
never real to me

of a room within a room
the tiniest doors for tiny hands and tiny dreams
I but ever small
The room has shrunken
and I will ever crawl
ever more
too big
to find
that
tiny
door
