A lover's bed made from wax
a burning candle hid beneath
All day long his burning back
reminds him of his lover's leave.
She tied him up on the bed
lit the flame there below
The bottom melts away the wax
the lover cries, the lover knows.
"This is hell," he said
"This is Hades."
"This is where she belongs,
but here I die instead.
The final layer never fades
I feel the constant burning pain
All because my lover loved
another in her lover's game.

Today.
I'm not sure what I want to use this blog for. I suppose I'll begin with how my day went.
Today was good. I was reminded of how blessed I am with some amazing friends. I am thankful that there are those in my life who notice how long my hair has gotten and that I don't eat tomatoes, cucumbers, or onions. I am thankful for those who remember my most embarrassing moments and know that I secretly dance to Reggaeton music in my car. I have dear friends... well, I see them as family really.
But mostly, today was good because the sky was its deepest of blues. Although there were clouds (the ones that look like mounds of white cotton candy), I could see the sky, and it was constant blue. I remembered how big the earth is and how tiny I truly am, but the comforting part was that all those around me were tiny in the same way. This was comforting because lately I've felt so intimidated by our government, world hunger, oppression, the declining economy, the future, my future, life purpose, religion, Christianity, doubt, family, ect.
The colored blue sky echoed infinity. And so, there is Something or rather, Someone bigger than all these things, including me. A cliche idea, but I'm at a loss for the stillness I feel when I actually press eyes to the blueness of the sky and the detail of creation: A general revelation that all can enjoy and should find astounding as it echoes the existence of the Creator.
I don't want to use this space for inspirational journalism or what have you... I'm compelled to confront important issues at hand. But Today was this.

Give it a Shot.
I figured I'd give this thing a shot. Every man has a word... maybe I have something new to offer.
