Fallen Angel

As forked lightning strikes on earth's unhallowed ground,
    Night-times dark sullen stormy skies highlight, 
    A fallen angel, who, was once divine.
    Cast out from heaven's, pure eternal light.
    Such elegance, arrayed with fine black lace,
    Her jet black hair, enhanced by raven coloured wings.
    Alluring temptress, seeking mans embrace.
    As seductive siren, gently playing their heartstrings.
    So perfect , yet she fell from grace
    When Lucifer; her unrequited love  betrayed.
    Now earthbound creature, spurned by Satans curse,
    She must obey, and join the Devil's masquerade.
    Sweet perfume's fragrance from her scarlet rose,
    Intoxifies, and casts young love beneath her spell.
    When lovelorn suitors sell their souls for paradise,
    By morning light soon realise, entrapped in Hell.
