Why?
blood gone bitter
body shakes
fists clenched
eyes tight shut
teeth bite down
blood starts to warm
hands hold head
blood boils and burns
heart rips to shreds
bleeding inside
mind begins to wonder
whatever went wrong
things were so right
something changes
mind wonders why?
"nothing stays the same"
arms raised above
shaking with rage
slamming them down
enough to break the world
collapsing in tears
shaking your head
down on your knees
yelling "Why do things change?"
Answer's
Licking the salt from your wounds
Drinking your pain like wine
No longer does it make you bleed
All the colors fade to one
No longer confusing you see only red the color of love
I stand as you look
Hoping the shadows have been lifted
I see your eyes
An notice your tears
As they run down your cheek I wipe them away
No longer broken and forgotten
I’ve glued you together
Out of the shade
Into the sun
No longer frozen in apprehension
The wants you desire
The ones you couldn’t find
Look in my eyes cuz I think they lie within
Beauty
I find it difficult to convey
All the beauty that you possess
As if sculpted from the softest clay
Done with patience and finesse’
Ages it must have took
Just to find your perfect look
All the effort all the time
Was worth it for someone so sublime.
Hair as soft as the clouds in the sky
A smile bright enough to blind the sun
Your body more beautiful then anyone
A touch of your lips and I would die
Your eyes I could fall into
One look and I’d be gone
To your presence I am drawn
My desire is what you subdue
Happily Ever After
There comes a time when everything feels so right
When your heart races at the speed of light
You feel a desire that wasn’t there before
A fire that drives you closer to what you quest for
It’s you that’s brought these feelings from inside
Like a tidal wave that will never subside
Your love washes over me covering me in all its glory
Its like you and me are characters in a love story
Written by and Angel, just and true
A story of my undying love for you
Unlike a fairy tale this love is real
In my heart and in my mind I feel
I hope you love me as much as I love you
And the yearning I have for you, do you have it too
One day soon we can be together
Living with each other in love forever
Desire
darkest heart of sapphire
consumed by desire
my body prone upon the pyre
awaits the One who kindles the fire
a fallen Angel's ire,
yearning sets afire
lifts my body, soul from the mire
ignites the flame which a love inspires
Shine
The sun shines bright above your head
Covering you in an elegant glow
Dancing upon your skin
the rays of light hypnotize.
Like white on black, you shine
with a light so divine
Being close to you
i can feel your beauty
Like the world on my shoulders
its almost to much to handle
taking you in my arms
i carry you close
as we enter your room
the world is nothing but black
because without you
there is nothing left to shine
Last Kiss
Amongst the stars I lay
Watching the sky and all they portray
So small and tiny
Yet so bright and shiny.
Like your eyes they burn
Making my heart yearn
For that touch I once knew
That would bring a love nothing could subdue
A light so bright against the black
I feel myself try and choke back
All the feelings that try to pour from within
It feels so good, so good it must be a sin.
If it is a sin to feel like this
Then happy I will fall to the abyss
Any punishment I could dismiss
Just to feel your lips for one last kiss
Prince of Darkness
Lead me my lord to a place so dark
Upon my head place the mark
That grants me access to the land of blight
A place that’s completely devoid of light
Down a staircase I twist and turn
I can feel below the souls that burn
A warmth that rises from the below
It chills my body like ice and snow
Lead on my lord, I have no fear
I continue willingly as we near
That place of great fire
Here with you I wish to conspire
To Hell’s gate you lead
Even its bars seem to bleed
Under the bloody arc we walk
All around us your minions flock
My skin withers and peals
You can’t imagine how good it feels
From my back sprout wings
Scabbed withered, skin hangs on in strings
Twisted and gnarled my body has become
Soul and mind to you have succumb
I follow you to your throne of bone
Next to you I rest in one of my own
From now till the end of eternity
We will rule together with ruthless brutality
Until all of His creations are destroyed
Leaving nothing but our pure black void
