An Immortal Love

Hiding within the feathers of an angels wing My love waits, shy to the world Content to fly, never wanting to stay Until I met you Now I shed these feathers To lay with a mortal angel Whose love Will forgive my fall from grace For my heaven now resides In the being of you I have traded immortality for your kiss A mortal kiss soft, moist, like the birth of a rainbow, Leaving me with no fear My sacrifice to love, But love is a feast And illusions dance in its shadow And temptation has a price For my angel danced with destiny Now I stand on the precipice alone An outcast from heaven With broken wings that can fly no more The west wind has deceived me, took her away Like so many broken hearts before me And my dreams follow in the salt Of a billion tears This lost love I keep locked away Filling a fools emptiness Deep within my soul Now and then it escapes Consuming me in hopeless longing A trigger for Suicidal thoughts, In the darkness, just before dawn. A burden to my being, never to be lifted. This love is my only Companion For angels do not look upon me anymore This burden is mine to carry To slow my walk through The Valley of death For love is my cross But it is a thing of beauty to show God And perhaps within my suffering He will understand That love and loss is the price We angels pay for Living a mortal life.
