Originally written sometime between the year 2000 and 2002
Everything is louder in the dark
Tiny moments between sleep & consciousness
Breath resembles strong wind
Whispers like shouting
And the flutter of my eyes like an atom bomb
Everything is louder in the dark
Down to the soft floating footsteps
The sound of your hand in my hair
The subtle noise I make the my lips part
Childhood fantasy
Long forgotten obession
With record store memory
Square framed glasses
Classic coy stare
My reaction never quite full volume
but...
Everything is louder in the dark
Now more than ever
Now that voices
have turned to melody
Symphony to me left
Sonata to my right
An overture I can hear
Somewhere in the distance
Over it all
It all builds to crishindo
Brought to my knees
By the uncomfortable beauty
My thoughts roar
Like violent thunder
Your voice more powerful
Than infinite silence
My delicate sigh stronger
Than the voice of god
Strike a match
The volume goes down
Smoke escapes my lips
Fire dies
Closing song with no melody
Content & beautiful
Because everything is louder in the dark
