| DARKENED FANTASY ------------------------------ Ticking sounds Awaken new senses Inside the emptiness That is embedded inside of me Buds I had long since forgotten, Quiver at the prospect of change Emotions so loud that they vibrate Right into the sounds of confusion I look within and see, Anger's light is now marbled With the dark of silence The warm blanket of night That helps to shroud away All light The soft pulsation of it's friendly embrace Holding the torn and battered child, Safely, Safely through, To a more serene flowing, Of musical notes And attempt to piece together, The shattered illusions of harmony Leaves me disheveled, As the buds are sprouting forth, Like tiny diamonds in a sea devoid of all beauty Somewhere In another time This fragility is not misunderstood This beauty is not unseen If I could float there for just a second, Remaining in the clutches of a romantic death Where upon his enchanting kiss Could bring me forth, Into a life of sweeter caresses, Melancholy fading, And strength encouraging me If I could flee the past, Suspend the future, Forgive myself of every sin Seek out a soul To fill the endless void With something real Something I can feel deep down In the depths of my empty soul A soul that vibrates With confusing sounds all at once Yet, somehow, Still seems to resonate With the ironical silence of idealic, Long forgotten dreams Drifting through the velvety breeze, The jumbled chaos shifts, Into a new dimension, Where upon the buds have fully blossomed, Into something altogether new Rivulets of hope encrusted memories, Echoes of remembered laughter The confusion eases, The peace of my dreams seeps, In through the clouds, And I become lost in a realm of fantasy. ~~Oblivion Flyer and Velvet 2-2001~~ |
