3 chords and the truth (6 if you want me to lie)

Poem: Anno Domini

April 16, 2013

In the beginning

I was a void

but now

you have become

the light

allowing me

to find my

missing parts

(and car keys)

now I want so badly

to recite to you

our future

from memory and

I know that if

I lean into you

and try very hard

and lie a little

to my heart

and your ears

it could sound

like The Bible

(minus miracles)

with the part before you

fat with floods

and famine

and the part since

full of hope

and belief

while skipping over

the final chapter

in an attempt

to avoid

the rapture
