He fell to earth like a meteor
wielding his fiery sword 
but unlike seraphim
he was not here to cleanse the wicked
Soulless & motherless 
he would unleash 
his wrath upon the world
A wall of flame spread out 
from the pit where he had landed
& consumed all in its path
I'm not sure which magnet 
you
       stir
             in
                 me

Flowery joy is never a struggle
redolence, weakness, and despair
Gifts never fall through the hazy veil
the tempest and rumbling flickers
were then predicted
delusions when sleeping
cherubim appear and bestow 
the following blessings
crossings have 
                            already 
                         given 
                      you 
                  clues

crispy golden-time flake
autumn rhymes whirl-to-wind
the seasons joined the Seraphim
you provide delight by dancing
memories of songs are very lovely
deep echo in your heart
nostalgia is pure as angelic truth
Reminding 
                   you 
                       that 
                           every 
                                 day 
                                    is 
                                       new

awake east on golden wings
divertimento with ancient godly beats
such as archangel tunes
paeans of several colors
in the name of absolute truth
it is like an angel holding my hand
my behavior at dawn every day
                                  that 
                              stirs 
                            my 
                        soul
