Angel

I had a dream about an angel
and awoke with her in my arms
our bodies enveloped in her aura
I saw the love in her eyes, and the harm

the sun began its morning rise
and its rays pierced the room
I traced the contours of her skin
knowing separation would come soon

I opened myself to her
and she left my heart undone
venturing out fulfill her fate
because for her, I was not the one

her kisses echo still in my mind
whispering melodies of what we shared
songs of what was not meant to be
because even angels can be scared

she took my sense of security
left me wanting what’s been missing
I can’t pretend it’s all bad
because even pain can be a blessing

I still feel her skin on my fingertips
teasing the senses that knew her love
remembering the softness of her body
the one sent to me from above
