Coming Out Of Silence

You are listening to me
Coming out of silence
Coming back to life
alone in a song
Forgive my absence
I was dreaming
Of a sound
Beyond sound
A sound
Beyond us
You are listening to me
Here at the centre
Hear where he was
She was
I was
No space
No time
No will of their own
As if they were waiting
Those pleasures meant a lot
Forgive my absence
Where she was
I was
Where he was
I was
Here at the centre
Nowhere
Inside outside
Outside inside
Shadowdrifting
Across the chasm of the day
You are listening to me
Coming out of silence
Coming back to life
Measuring nothing
as it rises
Into the air
Tearing open
A cocoon
Feeling complete
You are listening to me
Coming back to life
In silence
Beating a strange reprise
Providing an exact time frame
Nothing can follow
All the chants to atmosphere
All the way to nothing
Forgive my absence
The years flew past me
So little room
So little time
Punching the air
Falling away
Taking a moment
Last chance
Last word
He had his doubts
Haunted look
Darkness growing
heart marooned
The masks slip off
Head in the clouds
Tomorrow is exile
End of message
Alone in a song
he vanished like a star

Half Life
04:48

I’ve been cradling a secret,
swaddled in a white envelope,
half a century old.
The man in the photograph, you caught sight of.
The story I’ve never told.
A shade follows me,
haunting my dreams,
where demons and angels reside.
Shaming, unveiling,
they know every wave of the black wave,
that spawned my lie.
Do you recall the strangest of days,
when mother prayed I would go?
Told father to drive me far, far away,
where I gave up the secret alone.
Then part of my life was always missing.
A fire began to swell.
Like a dancing wave, came a force so great,
and smothered the flames of hell.
I’ve been living a half life, up until now,
longing for him to find me.
The man in the photograph, you caught sight of,
came to shore.
I’ve been cradling a secret,
swaddled in a white envelope,
half a century old.
The man in the photograph, you caught sight of,
came to shore.

Antonymes Wales, UK
Antonymes music emerges from the adjustments and erasures where music expresses nothing but itself, from the relationship between continuity and repetition rather than of contract and interplay, from secrecy, from quietness, from pause, from thought, from emptiness, from time, from far off, from itself, from where it is set and where it is setting off to. ... more
