I woke up feeling poetic


from the ABC set The prophet poet

All my yesterdays covered me whole,
defeated I somehow managed to gather all of my old selves and wrap them up in ready made bows of shimmer and shine. The days' glare was unkind, I prayed for the summer night to take me and make great my embellishments.

You lay on a couch in a corner but as you regarded me you came alive. The walls swelled to a great size in an attempt to contain your excitement. I am tranformed whole by that glance.

As daylight waned and sweet slumber descended, in your arms I found much grace. Everything faded into the night and your morning kisses on my bare skin delivered me.

I woke up feeling poetic, majestic,beautiful, exactly as I should. Lost in a world much like the one I was used to, only brighter, greener, sweeter and abundantly new.

All because of you.
