On the verge of understanding This clock darkness It seeps into my bones, my soul Erodes the spirit Pooling the blood of consequence I am in the center of a cyclone She, my perfect storm I turn the world round with my hand Beneath each changing zone Truth falls Gently carving many channels in the Earth The pain of wanting to control the Sun The tongue of the river Lost in winter elms My imagination ******* on the roof Pandering to delusions To what is hidden beneath the surface The cold people My roots to life Don't let me drown, make me beautiful I inhale loneliness The sweet smell of ****** Earth Music floating on the wind like dust. We learnt to dance in this storm In the background Her voice Her Soul Sadness and longing Our bonding between tears and rain In moments such as these That cast a purple haze across the plain We are the living things that devour Happiness and pain
