Pray for Fire



You are swimming around,
in my swirling liquid head.
First you splish then splash,
with a glance make my fire red.

I’m drifting in your beauty,
you are my last hope.
Weave for me the length of your love,
and from it braid me a rope.

I just set my boat on fire,
and lit my last flare.
The moment that I saw you,
I used my last prayer.

It doesn’t matter you’re in the distance,
and off of my trajectory.
I will swim with endless persistence,
but only when you command me.
