A Prayer

A Prayer

A Poem by SamanthaSweeney
"

A prayer or a confession? Or perhaps it is a dream.

"

A Prayer

 

The whispers of the Angels

Led me to you.

Let me in through the gates of your soul.

Mighty one

 

Open his heart to me.

Allow not another snake

Sliver around my words and

Change them.

 

Shedding skin like lies

She does. Sneaking

Through the weaves of his hair

And whipping her gaze stare from my gaze.

 

Lord,

I never want to hurt.

Cleanse me of my sins

Lord.

 

You show me the answers

In the amber speckles of his eyes

And I am grateful.

But I am fearful

 

That she will morph also

Into scales, and temp him

Away from me.

Or is it me?

 

Am I the beast

Without any legs?

Were they stripped from me

On that fateful day,

 

In the wistful nirvana

We wasted?

I will not waste him

Lord.
