outcast
faith deficient
falls out of heaven
crashes with thunderous thud;
grounded
broken wings
mocked by Icarus
a just fate

Why did a cauldron of bedeviled bats fly right
into the grim windows splattering their blood
on the shards of glass strewn all over the floor…
What drove them to their gruesome death?
These nocturnal creatures that can navigate
a labyrinth of caves skillfully.
I leaned ruefully against the darkened wall
of this abandoned house, pondering;
Alas, if only these broken windows can
tell the tale of that foreboding night.
Ensnared, entangled, entrapped, entwined by life…
Venturing to escape is to embrace death!
Hugging the shadows of incarceration I wait
for the light of liberating death to shine upon me
and wrap me in its ethereal grace.
Cast out of Paradise, and a stranger in the mortal world,
I am cursed with an angelic beauty
like a rose blooming in the desert only to wither
in its scorching heat—unnoticed, unsung!
Like a fallen warrior seeking deliverance
like a wayward soul seeking salvation,
Unable to reconcile with either world.

Too many Worlds collide when
(street echoes)
Too many dancers appear
yet she moves fair to show
Shes just a fallen Angel
with a certain spark
Too many people have
tried to change her
Shes not a Saint Joan
they have failed
Shes tries to keep the moment flowing
for the man who would be King
She likes to go too far
Don't blame her for turning out the night
The wound is for real

In my dream, I saw an angel, Whose smile lit up the room. As the figure walked toward me, I noticed a dagger embedded in its chest, slowly bleeding.
The angel began to cry in pain, And the suffering grew worse. Blood flooded the scene, As the angel's cries turned into desperate screams.
The pain was so unbearable, The angel didn't know what to do.
It wept uncontrollably, Tearing at its own face and clawing at its skin, blood covering its once-pure form.
Slowly, the angel began to transform, Its radiant features fading into something dark and sinister. An evil presence emerged from the torture, As the angel's innocence was consumed by the agony.

While staring at the manger,
cat decided to summit the Christmas tree.
Corkscrewing around a string of redlights
chewing some tinsel on the way up.
Eyes as big as antique ornaments
Clawing her way up to the pinnacle
replacing a fallen angel.
That night cat snuggled on my lap
as if nothing ever happened.

When you lost your faith
You will fight with Him; become
A fallen angel.

Fallen angel, fallen from grace
Fell from the touch of his embrace
He's left to stray, he's left to roam
When will he find his way back home
Scourge in silence, in dark of night
He shuns the gleam of glowing light
The pointed tongue, its piercing blade
Howls hard to wish his glow to fade
*For all the fallen angels who were forced to live in exile*

I fell from the sky.
A bird with broken wings,
Who can’t fly.
Humans are my prey,
In them, I hide.
Steal their souls when they die.
I don’t care if they are rich or poor.
I know they always asked for more.
And I love to fulfill their desires,
To become addicts, politicians, or deceptive liars.
My gifts are free.
All you have to do is asked me.
And in return, I asked only one favor.
To make me a resident in your house,
I don’t care to sleep on your couch.
From here I have a perfect view.
While I watch how you deceived,
Exploit, betrayed, and abuse,
Your friends, family, and spouse.
And when my work is done,
I will find a new home.
Where I will be welcome.

Demon screams
Shadow of darkness
Thirst adrift
It's endless madness
Dead agony
Drowns his cries
It's brutal laughter
With suffering eyes
Slavery of hell
He is bound
This to be his rooted ground
This rotten demon
Confined to his existence
Bones and blood
Roots and stones
Fill his veins of burning blackness
His silence trickles
Alone his sorrow
His haunting thoughts
Evil exists
His venom
Forever sick
Your suffering soul
Death won't be quick.

If done the shackles, fated to be,
If dusted the fates, bound to thee,
Past them, gleaned, prayers to see,
If downed, glorious, of the, fleeing me,
If pained, glamorous, with the hand plea,
And if gleeful, generous, to up and agree,
That if dated to be the fates, be it and free,
Self from creases and folds of the world as is.
If minding, the spirit of the blinds, then,
Slowly surging, the viciousness from them,
If shaken by the surge, the energy from men,
Stricken down to a point zero, if timed again,
To the core, if goggled and gazed at, till when,
Up and home, and finding strength in them gone,
And scripted, as morals of a fallen angel, divine.
If shrugged, the sanity, severed in the winds,
Find truce, safest in the sacred caches within,
If foregoing, settled, and forfeited the destined,
Find peace, truest to ties and as heavenly ordained.

foot tracks foot prints in
in the snow boundaries shown
harnesses patterns
~
of trail blazed shoes worn
"Timberlands™" conversions runs
runs atop the ice
~
snow tracks giant feet
steps, -my eyes sees he's fallen
now I see the shape
~
of an angel on
the ground indented shape of
heavenly body

Everything you've loved before
Disappears like those wings of yours
The feathers you always believed helped you soar
Fall away through a cloud which pours.
Everyone you thought you knew
Move on cause they've all long replaced you
Not even memories matter, for they're nothing new
Slowly truth seeps into your wounds so blue.
Everything you've loved before
Betrays you like dreams with how they come & go.
Those angels you thought helped you soar
Show their true natures you hoped you'd never know.
Everything you ever have been and are
Simple as bright & glowing
Like a shooting star that has come so far.
You see now, it was never them, it was just you shining.

Our Coder, Which rules the server,
Hallowed be Thy zerg.
Thy mana come. Thy grind be done
On Wii, as it is in Xbox.
Give us this day our daily patch.
And forgive us our beta testing,
As we forgive noobs for ganking against us.
And lead us not into a spawn point,
But deliver us from laggers.
For Thine is the program,
The platform,
And the firmware,
Whatever, whatever.
Admin.
Lord, grant me the field of view to elude the zombies I cannot kill,
The bandwidth to take down those I can,
And the screenshot to prove my score.

famished though inside a cloud
yearned for a toaster
found him a poster

Gazing at your face,
Thought aloud he is the one,
Who would be a faithful love.
Started as friends, Became lovers, Now my everything.
How did this turn wrong.
Your words I heard truth, Your doubt I saw blind,
How did this turn wrong.
Believed Rumors only to be lies,
Raise of your hand mark my body,
Anger become to taunt,
Everything is fine, If only my soul could hide.
Your voice takes me away,
Beyond the heavens, Swinging on a star,
Loving you more than my self, My intentions pure.
How did this turn wrong.
Loosing my way to be someone else,
To keep your love, Loving only me.
How did this turn wrong.
An angel asking to be mortal, Granted my wish,
Your soul how I love.
How did this turn wrong.
I face the promise I could not complete,
A journey without knowing.
How did this turn wrong.
I am the fallen angel, Now finding my way,
I give thanks to you, I felt the pain,
the sorrow, Happiness tears of joy,
Breathing your love that I know once true.
