In the darkest of my secret desires

It becomes unsettling as time passes

The silence of these days and nights

As I wait, longing for my beloved

I become lost, in a loving memory

Yearning to become alive anew

As only, he can touch my soul

Ever so profoundly, in every touch

Soaring in abandonment – awakened

I cannot envision a life without love

Since the day I have fallen from grace

I was dually blessed and then cursed

As I am alone in the mind’s memoirs

Awaiting the break of unbearable silence

Years have passed him by
His youth seems fading away
Still she is as fresh as before
From the first moment he captured her
Now he watches her from the shadows

Remembers the sweet feel of her flesh,
the sensation of her kisses of nectar
He never locked the cage, she stayed
She yearns for him each and every night
But now he finds himself too afraid

For he is only mortal, she is Eternal
An Angel of Death fallen in love
If only he dared to approach her
Take her now in a fury of lust,
could she still crave this withered shell?

Penetrating the stillness of the night

I can hear a voice, long thought astray

I can feel the blood pulsating in my veins

As I cry out for my beloved to come anew

Even as times passes, nothing has changed

Though my wings have has been clipped

As I had fallen into forbidden temptation

I remain the same, though he has now aged

I care naught for appearances, as in my eyes

It is the pureness of his heart, which lures me

I cannot help but wonder where he dwells

Grasping unto faith, that he shall return

Accepting, with no remorse of what was

Surrendering to this love, I so freely offer

United as one being, forever without end

He dares to approach her once again
Long ago he felt no love in his soul
But she has changed how he once was
An ancient naked body, he now offers
To this beauty that smiles to welcome him

He responds to the gentle touches she gives
Feeling like a young man again, once more
Lovers in this night of forgotten shadows,
daring to surrender to desires of the flesh
Allowing two hearts to be now, as one

Then he feels the agony within his chest
Age has taken a toll for a moment to cherish
He holds her as she trembles, knowing
The last thing he sees are an Angels tears
As in the final moments, he dies in her arms

After waiting for so long, it seems cruel

Befalling such heartfelt sorrow, losing

Once again my beloved, as destiny rules

Fallen from grace, atonement must be paid

Pleading now for redemption for my sins

I know there is no going back to paradise

As I have found heaven, here earthbound

It is now within my power, to make amends

Bestowing my love upon those in dire need

Finding peace in the light of loves true gift

A state of a higher power that takes hold

Ruling now these days, that comes forth

Nevermore in the darkest of my desires,

as I find the strength within to arise anew

In moving on, with all of my heart and soul
