Secret Hideaway

There is a place so far away
That I shouldn't even think about it
It is a place where all of
My darkest fears go
Where the brightest of suns
Shine through the clouds 
How light collects like dust in my eyes
In that land, I have heard
The way a good kiss spills into
Every untouched part of the soul
The birds sing to you in the 
Voices of sirens 
They call to you
With a sound as clear and everpresent as air
In this land, you come to know the lover
As a separate self inside of you
A self that cannot speak
The naked spirit is powered by demons
Far away, if you take a deep breath
A warm cloud blooms below your heart
This feeling comesfrom a place unseen
The hideaway inside of yourself
