The Pact

I made a pact with my Angels.

If they want what they want.
They have to give me what I want.

As far as I could remember,
they entered my dreams each night
chanting in a chorus of voices

“We have endowed you with gifts.. the gift of poetry.
We want you… to reveal something…
We want you… to write a book…”

In my defiance I replied,
“How am I suppose to write a book, when I don’t have the resources to?”

They chanted in harmony,
“We will give you anything you ask. Ask, and you will receive.”

I ignored the voices of Angels, thinking it to be absurdly ridiculous for them to ask me to do something I am not sure of doing.

One day, in my desperation, I made a pact with them.

“Ok Angels. I tell you what, you give me everything I want, and I will give you what you want. Deal?”

They chanted back, “Ask… and you will receive.”

For years, I asked many things.

I asked them to bring me to Paris.
They gladly obliged.

I asked them for a lover.
They gave me one the next day.

I asked for money.
They made it happen by magic.

I asked for the world.
And they chanted back,
“The world is yours. If you write.”
