Tears of the Father

a daughter of Heaven
from the beginning
of time was loved
by the Father
 
now Lucifer desired
the daughter of Heaven
 
whose love of the Father
revealed the darkness
of his soul
 
from that darkness grew
the revenge of hate
 
as he glimpsed the love
in her eyes for the
creation in His image
 
from the heavens he
plotted the fall of man
 
and watched as the
daughter of  Heaven
 
fell into the arms
of  a son of the earth
 
In the wafting hours
before dawn as the
cold of dark descends
upon the earth
 
the time for forbidden
lovers to meet in
a hidden glen
 
as the son of the earth
would drift  into the
slumber of bliss
the daughter of Heaven
 
as the first rays of
sunlight would
break in the dawn
 
she would
take flight in the
form of a swan
 
transforming in the 
misting  ray’s of the
early dawn to the
daughter of heaven
 
afar from the eyes
of sons of the earth
 
the disciples of Lucifer
grew bold in their lust
for the daughters of man
 
and taught the forbidden arts
to the sons of the earth and
with the use of the bow
 
the screams of a
shattered heart echoed
into the hollowed
pillars of Heaven
 
and the tears
of the Father
covered the Earth

thank you, Moon Flower, the idea that only male Angel's would have been the only one's to have existed. Let alone been attracted to the children of man. And no female Angel's are mentioned in scripture. I decided to spin the story, and reveal love, lust and hate as well as loss.
