To An Angel

I cast my gaze heavenwards
To a place where the love angels dwell
I can't see you, but hear my words  
And my heart desires as well

She placed her heart on a platter
Not for me to consume nor to savour
But to keep ahold and cherish forever 
Yet, shower upon a sheer ardour 

Dear love angels hear my plea
Life changes like a quicksilver 
I know not tomorrow, though I see 
But I yearn to keep her forever 

Quell my worries, my fears too
I'm possessed with ardour
If I lose this jewel, I'd be a fool 
And ridded of heavenly favour
 
Would you rather plume out now
Perchance I'll see your celestial visage
As you clad in a holy alabaster gown 
And set your ear towards my message

Bless me with plenitude of wealth
So I can give her a paradise
And from all quarters of the earth,
Pluck her the treasures of life
