earth was used to make me <br />His breath to breathe <br />and a woman.... she stood <br />by waiting in the flame <br />lighted by no mortal affection <br /> <br />I stand so far beneath you <br />as far as heaven is tall <br />I come to you limping <br />thru the shadows hand <br />of iron resting on my shoulder <br />if I was Michael your angel sent <br />I could not love you more <br />such a temptation you hold <br />my heart repaired... welded <br />with the strength of steel <br />born on the smooth slope <br />that takes the flower to the snake <br />melted <br />I wear a mask<br /><br />Robert Combs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/angel-sent/
