Angels Fall, As I
Angels fall at your feet ...
- To savor the tang of truth - to kiss Heaven's visage
And sate horrid hearts, they feign you - Immaculate ...
- To tend the scars of id, vacant, fallow and dry
Such sacred sacrilege, they revile you - Torrid ...
- Born of a godly fervor - white flames to ashes
Ashes to tears, entranced, they covet you - Righteous.
Angels fall at your feet ...
- To twist the spine of mercy, to advocate time's curse
Brought forth in floods, they employ you - Banal ...
- To fawn at fear's reprieves, to shred the Eden leaves
Stark and cloistered, coy, they encircle you - Sullen ...
- To pierce the side of virtue, to thrust a spear of verity
And taste its salty tip - they adorn you - Naked.
Angels fall at your feet ...
- To strain a tear in symmetry, pure algebraic forms
Hot breath and whispers, they laud you - Redeemed ...
- To Hell and back, abandon, a sultry paragon's allure
Off the cliff, a fall sublime, they become you - Oblivion ...
- I am broken, replete ... rusting in your yard, seraphic junk
Pawned by Heaven's deceit, to fall rapt at your feet - Rapt ...
And so tenderly ... at your feet.
