FALLEN ANGELS

the water is endlessly deep
and the stones are etched by sin
these were once emotions and feeling
weaving spells with lonely hearts
their voices echo from below

hear the devils sing:
broken marionettes dance into my arms
for one last fatal kiss
my love beckons you
rose petals for tender lips
come to me
i'm breathless...


dead within you, without you
no ascension
we tumble into the firepit, exhausted
only the tears burn our skin
charcoal and ash
spit out your tongue, it's useless
withered and dried by temptations
paralyzed, you can't move
can't run and can't hide
dead within me, without me
don't complain
no one can save you now
because you're mine.

Completed February 23, 1997.

Inspired by my friend Amber Davis as Kyr`re.

This work was also inspired by too much Dead Can Dance.

Special thanks to Sherrod DeGrippo for letting me know that the ending needed work on the draft for Fallen Angels.

This allowed me to could come up with the final line to complete the poem.
