places
    whisper thoughts
    memories
time
    escapes
       into you
i know
    the secrets
         that lie
         deep
but find it
    hard
    to track them down
    hold them
           in my hands
we search
    through time
    but find that
    we are timeless
we wait for
    existence
    to enrapture us
the shades of light
    twist
    in and out of dark
moments
    scramble
    towards an understanding
    coded to follow us
sunfire
    burns
    my soul
             heats us
             we melt into another
defined by
    what we can only be
dust circles us
    shadowing
    the truth
we hide
in black
never to surface
