more like a prayer.

the sun screamed its truths upon my face
and all the angels sang in the heavens
while the beasts within were conquered
and the fire burned brightly once more.
--
No man
nor beast (sometimes, they're the same thing)
could ignite this fire within
as brightly,
as the sweetness of words
as the purity of truth
as the rawness of lust

Let the sun burn away
at my heart
Let the fire of passion
melt away my fears
Let the doors of opportunity
be ever so present
and let me accept it all
with humility and grace.

Today.

today the cat doesn't scratch so hard
today the covers held me close
like a sweet and thoughtful boyfriend.
today the traffic moved quickly.

today the sun was hidden
behind shiny white lies
but the day still feels right.

today my lover still hasn't called
but the birds still flew to a new destination.
today opens beautifully
like a brand new rose
that sits in my heart

today is somewhere
between magic and purpose

today the road is unveiling and winding
towards my own brilliant heaven
today is the dream I dreamed of
in a past life
while storm clouds moved in,
and I prayed for salvation
today is summation of all that was before
and all that is yet to be.

all the despair and pain
couldn't conquer me now.
