Full-blooded and bold
I have strife in me that fuels me
Stood upon the surface of the sun
And now I lust for the universe
Took me years to fall and years to rise
Lived off of self-doubt and dogma
A spirit with a yearning glow
And a mind building itself
There has been a darkness
Stretching from soul to sight
Darkness replete in me, filling me
Obsidian black, deathless night
I found meaning in love
I found salvation in love
I found myself when I found her
Life at long last
The sky I see, the man I want to be
Sustained by fire—lifted by might
The dreams I form, the reveries I breathe
Those living and those unborn
Twenty-eight years and time still a fear
My ambitions held in place by a single will
My heart held in hand by a single woman
And the terminal point a frightful unknown
The dreams and the desires
The storms and the fires
Visited every night, manifested every day
Fought for in every one of my living moments
M.M.
