Torment Above and Beast Below
In bed
Above
We're deep asleep
What greater love lies further deep
This dream must end
This world must know
That we all depend on the beast below
Above the beast and below the skies
Lies the world that we all never knew
Torment above
Beast below
In this hell
Did we ever know
What lies with us
Heaven only knows

The Companion
What is life,
But the companion to death
What is death,
But the unknown
Do we embrace the unknown
Do we welcome the unknown
Or do we fear the unkown
What is fear
But the unknown
But do we fear it
Or do we embrace it
Because
What is death
But the companion to life

I Control Nothing
Into the mirror, darkly, is where I see thee
Into the light is where i command thee
I command the only thing I am
I command the soul
Only the heart knows
What the soul wants
So I command the only thing I know
My heart
And my heart is the only thing that knows what my soul wants
So into the mirror
I control
I command
Nothing

A Conversation between Soul Mates
You are the most beautiful woman in the galaxy
But that might not work
Yes, yes it would
You don't know how long I wanted to tell you that
But you were afraid
Yes
Of me?
Of us, of what we might become
Or you might think that was just a line
Maybe i do think it's a line
And you think I'm not sincere
I didn't say that
There's nothing wrong with a line
It's like a knock at the door
Then you're inviting me in
I'm not sending you away
That's more than I expected
Is it as much as you hoped
I had only dreams
Dreams can be dangerous
Not these dreams
I dream of a galaxy where your eyes are the stars
And the universe worships the night
Careful- putting me on a pedstal so high
You may never reach me
Then I'll learn how to fly
You are the heart in my day
And the soul in my night
Derek Spoonmore
