The night caresses secrets in a dream
Speaking of promises unspoken
The doors open to the wind of the first sun
And nothing recalled will ever be forgotten
You sat there a while scanning the miles
Free child of beauty and a caged reptile
You wish you could fly but dreams cloud the sky
The rain in your brain is washing them dry - Nausher

you're swimming down rivers of mirrors
staring up the eyes of strangers
the flesh is not strong and the walls are too long
you've been searching for someplace you can belong
waiting for the train you lie awake in bed
dreaming of the dreams to bring back the dead-Nausher

There is no heaven and there is no hell
An ear to the ground and an eye on the hill
Building our memories on shifting sand
We look back to see an arid land
Waiting for the train we lie awake in bed
Dreaming of the dreams to bring back the dead- Nausher

I awake to the groggy hangover of sanity
symmetry of line
infidelity of motion
on other continents
under darker skies
we might have been lovers of the light
here we are acquaintances
groping for the end of a line
in a confusion of options
I sit in half shadows
menu in hand
alternatives swimming dimming
saturated by choice
hunger unfulfilled
appetite satiated. Nausher

Walking walls into the night
Staring blind from wrong to right
Holding hard onto your shadow's hand
You only survive because you don't understand
There is a stranger in your head
Standing naked in the rain
Your mind is clear, he said,
But your soul is insane- Nausher

the mirror's cracked along the angles of my face
where do i belong in it's tangled embrace
the looking glass looks back at me in wonder
i look through the mask only to see a stranger
I peel off my skin, and enter - Nausher

the sea is calling out the clouds again,
carrying stories of sanity to the insane,
there you lie scanning the miles,
free child of beauty or a caged reptile,
washing away black memories in white water,
diluting tomorrow's fears with yesterday's laughter
-Nausher
