In light so pure once the angle strode,
Proud and strong commanding all my will
Taking love and life with out regard I gave more,
All this and more if only the angles arms would hold
And never once did I see my heart and will the angles hands steal.
For days and weeks and months to years,
Her request I followed and gave the key my soul her hands did want
That she should not want till I cried and cried dreamed I died,
And to her all I gave she drank and drunk more deeply on my tears
And in darkened hole the grave she gave I was left to haunt.
Still in light from eyes pupils black her glare my will to know,
Given soul and heart my gift just to give her life
Uncared and shared to all around,
Broken more the shell my soul to dust will blow
Bloodied hand the killing blow from crystal angles knife.
So In turning I gave even more the knife my will,
In hopes my pain would in vain prove my loyalty would not shake
Now her eyes the fix given way to other souls,
And voice called out and never I heard so great her skill
To collect again fresh from men new hearts to bend and break.
Long this lasted till I was spent and wings her back did spread
Furled no more the will to score her need to feed again
And off to flight and great my plight that now I stand alone.
The flames of pain my sorrows gain and melt away like lead
Nothing now can ease the hurt not even fall of rain.
In darkened grave now I walked longing for her hand
And like the cold I chilled the ground upon which I strode
Calling out all in vain to hope and see glimpse again
And all I heard were rumor and less of her wings over land
And doomed I sang in twilight my need that I should be free this load.
Then it came that for which I sang a sight of her again
And from her voice could be heard her calling out my name
And the light that once did blind me Seemed dead and gone a thing no more
And with that lose in mind now too began to fade from me all that is true
Like paper in flames that flake and ride away in the wind.
So here I am left less than man cold and naked in life
Empty and withered, broken and consumed
Trying to find in a world cold with hands that threaten and loom
Over head to crush that which little is left of stolen life
My will to be and fight back my impending doom.
lovely work
