Seraphim Over Desert Sand

Moonlit chapel Dunes on fire Whisper scripture in the dust Soft prayer Hard heartbeat Ribs like breaking rust Your name carved in date palms Bleeding sap Bleeding trust Gold sand Cold sand My knees grind My tongue tastes crust

Crescent halo over ruins I drink thunder from your hand Storm-eyes Nail-scars Lightning veins across this land You breathe incense in my lungs I choke I rise I stand Love-hymn War-hymn Same blade Same brand

Who dares weigh this cross of kisses? Who dares measure thirst like this?

Seraphim over desert sand Wings of flame around our trembling veins Seraphim over desert sand You break my heart Then armor all the chains Seraphim over desert sand Seraphim Seraphim Love like a hammer in my bones Calling out your holy name

Night breaks in odd-numbered waves Breath stumbles Time derails Olive branches Broken meters Love stutters Never fails Your gaze Long pattern of mercy Repeats Repeats Then veils Harsh light Soft voice You kiss my scattered tales

Stop Drums fall silent Only pulse is you Stop One tear on your wrist Burning through Stop Every angel holds its breath Waits for my “I do”
