In this city, this land of thousand suns, lives a man.
A man of no dreams, in the dark shadows he eats,
blanketed in hate, driven by pain. Nightmares is all
he see's, death in every corner, a reign of dread and
powerful devils. Wicked smiles, twisted games they
play. He goes along, playing for fun. Now, In this
crazed city, in this maze there are dead ends,
laughing statues and crying fairies. Traveling a
lonely walk, those he loved gone. Taken into towers,
locked away for eternity. Nontheless, he takes the
path, joining every sport, winning here and there.
He continues his stroll, no sight of water to
quench his thirst, the burning light peeling
the layers of dirt, mites and ticks, still he
pushes himself to amble. Coming to a steady
stream, just for moment he baths, although
a beautiful and inviting place, earth mother
says "no, we can't not be." Now, this man I
speak of wears angels clothing, a sword at
his side and a badge to mount his hollow
heart. Blue penetrating ice when seen are
nuetral, red, bleeding, fire a constant reminder
of his pain and pitch black shades help to hide
his hurt, anger and discomfort. Yellow ribbons,
velvet wine and Jesus bread a daily scene,
no more a surprise. A secret I'll reveal, this
angel lost his wife, not even married for a
day, his beloved killed by a fiend, a monster.
Because of this the angel rolls the streets
with no direction, aimlessly, never to hault,
not even for rest or sleep. Running,
returning back to his dark, narrow alley
for no one to see he whales a
monunental screech, breaking glass,
kneeling, praying, begging for his broken
wings to mend. Falling from the sky no
accident, put here for a reason. But still
wanting to spread his feathers and
take flight to reach the tower where
she awaits, yet no answer is given, his
life an unfortunate reality. He must
stay here a little longer. Fight the devils that
roam this battle, put away the freaks.
This man says but one word as the days
done " we never close" and tis true, he'll
keep at it while tending to his clipped arms.
