Frozen Hour

For there is this moment,
this fraction of a second
When I'm with you,
when you're near me
that time simply freezes over.
The sun is paralysed at the horizon
and the stars play peek-a-boo
Only your lips curve into a smile,
And my hair swishes in the sea breeze.
Stay here with me,
For you're all I want to see.

Voices

There are so many voices
All inside my head. 
Screaming ad shouting. 
Soothing and caring. 

There are so many voices 
burying me under.
Suggesting and implying, 
Bargaining and coercing.

There are so many noises
All surrounding me.
I do not want to listen. 
I do not want to hear. 

There is not a sound at all, 
I drown in the quiet. 
Peacefully I float away
A place where I am alone.
