Angel Unveiled -

I taste You not as a delight or delicacy,
rather as a prophecy on the lips of crises,
Your eyes speak revelation of my design,
and therefore I love you for the pretty pain,
You've taught me about the rhythm 
of gospel burning brightly
in the palms of destiny,
I love You for your quiet sacrifice,
You are irreplaceable on the surface of my face
and in the spring of my life,
I love You, not as a choice,
but because of your priceless voice,
let your eyes burn into me,
let them burn deeply,
allow me to experience life freely -

J.A.B.

Dear Justin, This is a beautiful poem so well expressed and so delicate and tender, shows how devoted you are and thankful you are to your beloved angel unveiled. I love the way youv written "let your eyes burn into me, let them burn deeply, allow me to experience life freely -" theres an urgency there and a soulful touch which shows so much of what homes within your heart. Its so refreshing to read original authentic poets like you on soup. Thank you for supporting my poems too, sending you light always. Keep writing
