out loud

days of heat and pressure
raise the temperature
day to day
as i am reminded of a contract
from so long ago
made on the floor of
my bedroom
with tears of
wanting spilling onto
pages unwritten
written and scrawled.
i live in unconditional love
brimming with
heart aches, day breaks,
rain plays, and the curing of hiccups.
the contract i signed
promises forever to be
a measure of
my failure today.
but it is in today that
i am invincible.
failure waits but
will have to
wait as
moments of stillness
of falling into stars
of touching hands
on cool hard stone
of hiccups cured
by eye contact and slow breath
triumph.
tremors
that follow,
vibrations and ripples,
remind me of the possibility
of failure
but
i am invincible
because i live
in truth -
words out loud
sound out my
desire
laying
my soul
my skin
my scar
bare for
everyone to see.
i am self conscious
but i am not afraid of
the consequences.
i am invincible.
