Voice In the Dark Part 1

Who are you?
I be two
  Two of you?
Yes you knew!
  How is this,
  Possible?
That's easy
One side pure
One side dark
See easy.
  Voice of one, 
  Hear I do 
  Why not two?
Misinformed 
You are friend,
Two hearts be 
One voice, fool
  Confusing... 
  Answer this,
  Why can't I
  Seek you out?
  Blind am I?
  Fool is I?
  Light to be
  Gone from sight?
Friend you have 
Questions of 
Abundance,
One per time.
You know not
What you seek
Is this true?
  Yes is true,
Why seek me?
Neither seen
Nor do you
Know of me,
  Now who asks 
  Who questions  
Funny man
  My question
  First then your's
Fine fine fine
Here are your 
Answers friend, 
Blind you are 
Not my friend 
Black surrounds 
You yourself
A cave is 
Where you stand
I scratch you, 
You scratch me,
Why seek me?
  Deity
  Be you be?
Yes and no,
Why assume 
Such as that?
  Mysterious  
  Things as you 
  Means power,
  What I don't
  Understand 
  Gives you strength,
  What I know
  Gives me strength, 
  Mysterious
  Makes you a
  Deity,
  From me to 
  You voiced smoke 
Yes and no
  True I know 
  That I am.
Do you wish 
So to see
Who I am
To put that 
Theory friend
To the test?
  Yes I do.
Count to three 
  One two three
Good good good
Say three things
  Moon earth sun
Say three things
  Birth live die
Good good good
Name three points 
  Triangle
Good good good
Name three lies
  Immortal 
  Certainty
  And wishes 
Good good good
Syllables, 
Please say three  
  Syllables
Ha ha ha
Good good good 
Name three who 
Stand right here 
  You and I
And, And, And? 
-Just then quick 
-As a knife
-Candle flame
-Lit from the
-Pitch black dark
-Light blinded
-The mans eyes
-Seconds then 
-Minutes Passed
-The mans own
-Black eyes took
-To the light
-There stood three
-Three cloaked robes
-Three figures
-One holding 
-The candle
You see your
Theory was 
Right you ought 
To know friend 
And wrong too
  Lie to me 
  That you did
  Voice of one 
  That you said
  I see three 
All things lie
Even a 
Deity
Of one, of
Yes and no
Two lessons, 
I shall teach,
This is one, 
Part of one,
Lessons learned,
I will teach 
You too well
The first one
Coincides 
With that guess
Of luck oh
So pure, so.
True it is 
So that ones
Mysterious
Aurora
Makes one a 
Deity
But as I
Said to well
Yes and no
To you I 
Maybe a 
Deity,
I doubt though
For the two 
That stand right 
Behind me
Such a thing 
For you see
