something else

for you, I become

something else;

something more,

something new,

fresh and alive,

creatures without

a tomorrow;

stories with no past;

you take me into worlds

never before touched,

places unknown,

beyond flesh and thought,

past barriers and genders,

it is here we hide,

seeking sanctuary from

a world of violent fools,

waiting for the storm to pass,

listening for the sound

of dreams played out;

for you alone,

I become something else;

outside they wait,

desperately trying to penetrate

the darkness within,

but they never will,

they never can,

it is far beyond all they

will ever know,

more than they will

ever comprehend.
