Lights go Black

Echoing sentences inside an empty shell
What can you do when one speaks so well

When fugitive and figurative
Language conspires
Life is but a rush of instinctive desires

Raindrops that patter
Along window sills
One at a time until all movement is still

Frozen and blank
In one ear, then out
No worries, no cares
No thoughts produce a shout

Twisting memories upon spires of words
No hurt, no dirt
Clean and pristine
Collapsed and unsure

Patterns and pliability
Suggestions and subjectivity

Dancing in radio waves and vibrations
Through mind, through brain
You can feel the sensations

A simple push to give in to the sound
Of voice and speech
Of sinking, to drown

In waves of wonder that pass inside that thought
Moving it, molding it
Boiling in a pot

Until it evaporates and easily disappears
Vanished, gone
So that voice is all you can hear

Once you're hooked, there's no return
Nothingness and eveloped
What's left of safe burns
