Edward's Angel

Her eyes are dark,

like pools of rich amber

the red of her flushed cheeks makes them sparkle

like sunlight on a hidden mountain lake.

her curly brown hair is windswept and wild,

framing her picture,

shielding her, from the horrors her humankind face.

Her skin is milky, opaque and flawless

not a bruise or blemish, she is as pure as blood.

She spreads her arms and opens her golden wings,

a feeling of peace falls upon the earth,

upon my silent heart.

When she is gone, havoc will reign us again

raging war, harsh words and sickness,

i want it to take me!

But, my prayers are

to no avail,

for nothing can hurt me

i

am

ice, i am hell

Monsters do not deserve Angels.

Monsters do not belong in heaven.

My angel steps forward and rises into the sky

her eyes never leaving mine.

For a while

she is a moon,

just as frail and beautiful

if only she could stay with me forever...
