The Instrument of My Soul Between the lines, I can hold time still, I can place you here in front of me and have my moment's will. Soft and tender, are pressed my hands, there, to mirror and understand. Each second played I can pause the time, I can place you here in front of me and feel you in my rhyme. Soft and tender, are pressed my hands, there, to mirror and understand. Between the line, I can play the words, I can sing to you of how I feel and know I'll not be heard. Soft and tender, are pressed my hands, there, to mirror and understand. ~~*~~ The instrument of my soul is he, silent words in lines of me. ~A~ |

With hand upon the mirrored face Wishing to enter in that backwards place Where time goes backward to yesterday Run down the reality mainspring’s play But the surface yields not to the insisting To fantasy it reflects and is resisting Finally shatters into many shards And falls like a house of cards Gloom |

Upon the mirror, view of face In backwards time, a once-upon place Yesterday wished... were tomorrow's Time ran out, to leave with sorrows Instinct yielded nothing more Left in wanting to explore But understanding lost it's will When none forthcame, and time stood still. Always inspiring, Gloom Thank You Seymour The title came from a friend who has two Russian Students boarding with her and she asked one of them if they sang and he said words were the instrument of his soul... and I thought that a beautiful phrase. ~A~ |

'Between the lines, I can hold time still, I can place you here in front of me and have my moment's will.' I do it all the time, so I really liked this part! |

Do you Duncan? I am always holding thoughts "Between the Lines" As Alice or as nakdthoughts and always hold court with them in front of me. (It's the safest way) ~A~ Sorry, I forgot who I was for a moment...It's been one of those days M [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (01-27-2003 05:39 PM).] |
