"White noise, black silence" by Elmari Venter

White

Illusions, so addictive
Imagination scares reality
Love and war battling towards
the need for affection
Chasing any state of grace

It seems to be
that life is just another
seductive dance
between light and dark
Melodically balanced
Rhythmically challenged
but its silence yet deafening
deforming its beauty beyond repair

I’ll be the white noise
in the blackness of your mind
You’ll be my dark voice
when light blinds me to death

Let me be
and I’ll be
what I need to be
for only you
Do cover your face
but touch me with your warmth
I only yearn for
a glimpse of your existence

Let me look at you
and I'll see
what you need me
to see
Truth hurts, truth humbles
I’ll embrace your sacred secrets
Would you do mine?

I’ll be like white noise
I’ll yell in silence
You'll feel me crying
My tears be thunder

Verba volant, scripta manent*
Words fly away, writings remain
With blood I wrote my loyalty
forever in your heart
Rejection will not conquer
I loved you from the start

I’ll be the white noise
in the blackness of your mind
You’ll be my dark voice
when light blinds me to death
