An Angel And A Demon

I watch you through my eyes of glass

A tempting sight from first glance

So innocent and gentle is your way

Nothing like you has ever come my way

You shimmer in the light of the shining sun

You and your friends having fun

 

I must be careful where I tread

my kind is not welcome or so I have read

I see you from behind the clouds playing silly games

I wish to feel this joy as I hide my steamy shame

my kind would disown me for visiting such a place

Yet I am drawn to you , your beauty and your grace

but I do not belong here and this I must face

If only for a moment I could catch you in flight

I would not hurt , or tarnish your golden wings of light

Just to gaze at you and for you to see me too

Not the creature I am but, what I would be for you

Then I would set you free

and perhaps become more than the monster I have been made to be....
