The night caresses secrets in a dream
Speaking of promises unspoken
The doors open to the wind of the first sun
Walking shadows over your skin
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

Was it paradise lost or paradise found
did you buy safety with 6 feet of ground
tipping eyes with false impressions
wearing faces with borrowed expressions
the road that brought you here is dragging you back,
the light you thought was near is fading to black-N

the nectar that nurtures burns to poison,
the sweeping silence
of laughter forgotten,
the soaring spirit
returns as stone,
the things you loved
you left alone-Nausher

Looking through masks
laughing through mirrors
memories forgotten
drowning in dark waters
absolutely completely eternally
in your eyes i see the rest of me
this morn i awoke dreaming i was a butterfly
this night i slept dreaming the butterfly was me-Nausher

you laughed you are so clever
you are a walker on the waves
but your eyes are searching inwards
seeking shadows in light caves
you see queens give birth to lizards
your gods give birth to slaves-Nausher

what blink of an eye,
whose tear,
whose stare
what fork on which road
is taking you where?
-Nausher

you catch it in your hand and watch it expire,barbwires in the sand, the blackness of fire,careful what you put in your head, the mirror said,it will stay with you forever, even after you're dead,you'll forget what you need to remember,but you'll remember what you need to forget-Nausher
