Raining Dark Angels

POEM " RAINING DARK ANGELS " by martin gedge

Light shall have no savior for the soul that darkness brings
for pressed against the heavens in the heart of halo rings
tears to fall like angels plucked and clipped their feathered wings
destined to be sought among the dead
for doors shall cease to open for your sorrows and your sins
to know the flesh is willing with the sores upon the skins
turbulent and battered in the wheel of devils winds
thrust to raise and show its ugly head
the beady eying birds are in still hungry for the taste
to fly around the carcass while still basking in its base
there is no time for shelter while the plight of vultures race
to grab the ghost before it leaves the shell
the black and unforgiving in the throwing of the rocks
chained to all your prisoners under nails and fitted locks
no rest among the wicked in a color coated box
left to face your demons here in hell...
