Hide

Marble to dew
Ocean to Grey
Shelter to the philanderer
Courage to disarray

I hide from what I seek in you,

or else you'll become me

and I'll make way
for you to take my shape

Asphalt to Aztec
Silver to moonlight
Black to a blind
and
pain to the dead

I do not suffer from insanity
I live in a madness
that I call my own

I can't live in this world
and can't hide self
from the one
you've shown ..

One in which I
lost myself
and gained lots of you
and so you know
I'm reaching myself...

Pieces to glue,
old things to new,
cowardness to a prophecy due,
reality to the things that
lead me to you...

I can't go on walking
my steps don't abide
The truth in your silence
that I can't hide isn't
any old nor new

for me or for you ...

Feelings to those dead
Meanings to the deaf
Confessions to love
and
resistance to death

Stop now,
enough...

Purpose ending,
togetherness bending,
rise and fall of the leaves
All accumulated in treasures,
the only priceless spending ...

Cage to my dreams
voice to your fears
Miracle to my reality
and reason to your cheer ...

My present gives
me a flickering fear
and my past's
the rhythm divine

In floating merriment
of this arrangement
I'm losing my pain
in my mind

Hidden from the nearest
lot and into the blue
my tears still float
while these joys rinse the sky ...
