Write in Words of Fire

[anneruane]

I need inspiration. I love my NaNo story and I know exactly where it's going, but I just don't seem capable of moving at the speed I've moved in previous years. My concentration is nonexistent at the moment with far too much going on.

I will write in words of fire.
I will write them on your skin.
I will write about desire.
Write beginnings, write of sin.
You're the book I love the best,
your skin only holds my truth,
you will be a palimpsest
lines of age rewriting youth.
You will not burn upon the pyre.
Or be buried on the shelf.
You're my letter to desire:
And you'll never read yourself.
I will trace each word and comma
As the final dusk descends,
You're my tale of dreams and drama,
Let us find out how it ends.
