where is thou angel from?
my eyes tell me heaven
though i have not known God to play
such tricks among men

a test perhaps?
a test would be all too cruel
a test of these emotions is surely the devil's work,
though if it is God i am sure this test I cannot pass
for my emotions for her hold more control over me than God has over the world.

what choices are given?
to betray God or my feelings?
such a choice should not be made.
such torture should not be endured
could not.

she stands before me terribly beautiful
her light shines to places that do not exist,
her radiance achieving unimaginable feats
only known to ones such as her

i dare not touch her for fear of damnation,
though to not touch her would deny me the greatest honor among men

i am still,
more still than time itself
either by indecision or the angel,
i cannot move.

nothing moves.

though she is smiling,
it is not at me.
she gazes upon me everywhere I go,
yet it is I who does the gazing

I know I cannot feel her skin,
but I touch it anyway.
although she is right in front of me,
I dont know where to find her

...and yet, I always know where to find her.

in my heart.

she knows not how I care for her,
because sometimes, her picture is all I have

Though no one can experience my cages,
They are open for anyone to know
The essence of my soul poured to the pages
Because no current pages possess what I show

To me, we are the only two who exist
When I saw her, my breath she took
Then she was gone, only a mist
Now for her I always look

Yes, you might think me interested,
But do not underestimate my flame
For in her all of my passion is nested
And it has yet to become tame.

Therefore I lie in wait.
Such beauty I will not fail to find
Because this matter must be fate:
I shall search ‘til the end of time.

It rips, bites and tears at me
Longing to escape the cage
From my mind It has discretely
become this solemn rage

on the inside nothing seems right,
outside, nothing can go wrong
it is because this internal fight
Has been waged for far too long

It is now time, at this beginning,
For me to begin showing
minds that have since been thinning
and will soon be known as knowing

once this essential deed is done,
I am able to start anew
but this task is no easy one
because my victim is you.
