The Smoky Rose and the Angel

The smoky rose burns bright in the embers of my soul 
From paradise to earth the angels fall softly 
Wrapping their wings around me 
They keep me hanging on 
They keep me hanging on 
I see the colors of heaven dancing like doves 
And I feel the love
It's like a flower in the dark 
Whispers of lonesome breathes disappear 
When the angels come near me, 
I keep hanging on 
I keep hanging on 
Angels, they keep me hanging on 
Until the rose has turned to fired embers 
Without a sound she rises from the ashes 
Of the past, alive reseeded 
Re-magnetised, 
I'm hanging on, cuz they never gonna leave me 
The angels, they keep me hanging on 
Forever.
Her petals never shall wilt again
They will upsurge in every peak of passion
For when the body dies, the love of the thriving remains
It keeps me hanging on
It keeps me hanging on 
My heart wrings from the sheer honesty
Of her echoing choruses
I feel peace from the matchless aroma 
Their wings are wafting me to sleep
I wish only to dream in her grip
To catch her transparent essence
Keep me hanging on 
Keep me hanging on
With a strike of love
With a wick ever sustaining
And a flame ever burning
Downward to the dust,
Upward to the heavens
I will know that I am needed
I will know that I am real

This is an incredibly beautiful, and soulful song and poem Poetesses...the heart only hangs on to what it truly needs."And I feel the love, it's like a flower in the dark...Without a sound she rises from the ashes, of the past, alive reseeded...Downward to the dust, upward to the heavens I will know that I am needed, I will know that I am real..." this is so very beautiful, one of the best collaborations I've ever read, and a FAV!!
