A distant man with distant heart
Kept her, a fallen Angel, in a cage
Never would he let her be seen
But every night he visited her
Entranced by her naked beauty
Fallen from grace I now linger
Utterly spellbound by my captor
Veiled, remaining in the shadows
Untouchable – Quite vulnerable
Entangled, I shall never break free
Her thoughts within his head
He wants to take her, desire her
But afraid to surrender to lust
Always watching her, needing her
This dark Angel of hidden mystery
Clueless I am where this will lead
I can feel from afar a deep longing
Yet, I am mystified with every move
Hoping for a sign to appease my soul
To not have fallen from grace in vain
Oh, how I wish to know his thoughts
If it is not at all a dream within a dream
On the edge I now stand – so insecure
As I tread these waters ever so lightly
Frightened to awaken to a harsh reality
No longer can he resist the urge
Opening the cage and takes her
She does not resist, welcomes him
He penetrates deep into her soul
Both lost in the art of experimentation
She takes all he gives and wants more
Over and over again, they have their way
Never has she surrendered before like this
He cannot match to her satisfaction
As he fears her, the Angel of Death
Knowing she will never age, never die
He knows she longs to keep her
Wanted her forbidden lover,
these emotions are unexpected
He will always be her temptation,
now he leaves but forgets to lock the cage
Never in my darkest of desires did I dare,
surrender in total abandonment of my soul
I long for more, but my captor now eludes me
Should I escape, there shall be no going back
So here, I linger awaiting his return in my arms…
II
In the darkest of my secret desires
It becomes unsettling as time passes
The silence of these days and nights
As I wait, longing for my beloved
I become lost, in a loving memory
Yearning to become alive anew
As only, he can touch my soul
Ever so profoundly, in every touch
Soaring in abandonment – awakened
I cannot envision a life without love
Since the day I have fallen from grace
I was dually blessed and then cursed
As I am alone in the mind’s memoirs
Awaiting the break of unbearable silence
Years have passed him by
His youth seems fading away
Still she is as fresh as before
From the first moment he captured her
Now he watches her from the shadows
Remembers the sweet feel of her flesh,
the sensation of her kisses of nectar
He never locked the cage, she stayed
She yearns for him each and every night
But now he finds himself too afraid
For he is only mortal, she is Eternal
An Angel of Death fallen in love
If only he dared to approach her
Take her now in a fury of lust,
could she still crave this withered shell?
Penetrating the stillness of the night
I can hear a voice, long thought astray
I can feel the blood pulsating in my veins
As I cry out for my beloved to come anew
Even as times passes, nothing has changed
Though my wings have has been clipped
As I had fallen into forbidden temptation
I remain the same, though he has now aged
I care naught for appearances, as in my eyes
It is the pureness of his heart, which lures me
I cannot help but wonder where he dwells
Grasping unto faith, that he shall return
Accepting, with no remorse of what was
Surrendering to this love, I so freely offer
United as one being, forever without end
He dares to approach her once again
Long ago he felt no love in his soul
But she has changed how he once was
An ancient naked body, he now offers
To this beauty that smiles to welcome him
He responds to the gentle touches she gives
Feeling like a young man again, once more
Lovers in this night of forgotten shadows,
daring to surrender to desires of the flesh
Allowing two hearts to be now, as one
Then he feels the agony within his chest
Age has taken a toll for a moment to cherish
He holds her as she trembles, knowing
The last thing he sees are an Angels tears
As in the final moments, he dies in her arms
After waiting for so long, it seems cruel
Befalling such heartfelt sorrow, losing
Once again my beloved, as destiny rules
Fallen from grace, atonement must be paid
Pleading now for redemption for my sins
I know there is no going back to paradise
As I have found heaven, here earthbound
It is now within my power, to make amends
Bestowing my love upon those in dire need
Finding peace in the light of loves true gift
A state of a higher power that takes hold
Ruling now these days, that comes forth
Nevermore in the darkest of my desires,
as I find the strength within to arise anew
In moving on, with all of my heart and soul
