Angel Light

I stood in awe as she alighted like a bird upon some branch,
Belisha beacon to the abyss bound  clochard.
Bonfire for uncanny scion  adrift,
 ignited by her
incandescent eyes.
Chanteuse  of Arcadia  on song and sound.
Halo at the crossroads, spreading out her wings to scupper animus  
and bile.
Mystic lodger earthen yet ethereal,  
hoisting every limb aloft  from  Bern to Betelgeuse.
Limelight vernal
 queen blessed by open columns, healer on the arc where  tangents dwell.
Silver tiptop finger nails a castanet with magic samba grooves.
In  ritual or routine this lifeline Flora, 
bright zoetic statue, 
magnetising symbol for the bod without a bean.
Silken hands that rock the infant cradle,
quelling  fractious babies, saboteurs of sandman’s mythic dust.
Moonlight moths that 
flit across the glossy pages sculpted in her  cheeks.
Backstreet lantern white knight,
echo in a mirror of chatoyant eyes.
 Cast iron shadow coat tail, 
destiny’s  de lux edition bound but never gagged.
Damsel on assignment,
ever present vigil,  soothing  troubled psyches as they wallow in the waters of Lethe.
Nightingale who weaves an ample flourish,
band aid profile minder of  a
cobblestone waif,
otherworldly migrant,
window on  polluted quarters
harbouring those abject fallen figures,
bane of ghostly ushers when they prowl.
Heroine’s ascension , 
angel flying over heaven’s ladder,
waiting for that moment when her heart has found a home.
