I prayed, a silent prayer   my eyes open and heavy on him, settling like dust on his edges dancing like the soft sputtering kisses of the candle light beside our bed. Feeling safe in the shadows and light that play all along him, across the celestial lay of his skin and parade behind his eyes I prayed. A silent prayer to empty skies to the soundless indifferent void To the absents of god That I have always known I prayed. A silent prayer deep behind my personal truths, Just in case i'm wrong just in case he is  right silently in still of night I prayed "thank you, for him. for the carousal of his mind and fire in his chocolate eyes, for the warmth in his smile. Thank you for his devotion and his sharp sincerity.   thank you for the solar system rest upon my arm, enigmatic, polarized and stunning. grin induced heart beat thrumming, thank you for my goodnight and loving morning. For the way he takes my hand at night when he kneels to pray. For all of this If you exist I need to say I thank you."

I Prayed
I prayed, a silent prayer   my eyes open and heavy on him, settling like dust on his edges dancing like the soft sputtering kisses of the candle light beside our bed. Feeling safe in the shadows and light that play all along him, across the celestial lay of his skin and parade behind his eyes I prayed. A silent prayer to empty skies to the soundless indifferent void To the absents of god That I have always known I prayed. A silent prayer deep behind my personal truths, Just in case i'm wrong just in case he is  right silently in still of night I prayed "thank you, for him. for the carousal of his mind and fire in his chocolate eyes, for the warmth in his smile. Thank you for his devotion and his sharp sincerity.   thank you for the solar system rest upon my arm, enigmatic, polarized and stunning. grin induced heart beat thrumming, thank you for my goodnight and loving morning. For the way he takes my hand at night when he kneels to pray. For all of this If you exist I need to say I thank you."
