"Paint my spirit gold"

...and cover my body with blessings,
kiss these swollen lips and mend my cracked
dignity!
bury my skin in flowers and steal all the prayers
from Heaven,
give me an angel,a sword and silence,
tell me my purpose has a blooming core!
swear on old blood that I will love
forevermore
and carry me in your scarred arms over
life's flood,
lie with a twisted tongue and command my eyelids
to thrive
in the darkness which night conjures from down below!
be mine and let me belong
to a soul
no more damaged than my own!
emerge from nothingness,save this plagued
world
and paint my spirit gold...
