Being an earthbound angel <br />her wings curled up <br />enclosing her/cloaking her <br />parted letting him in <br />watching herself from afar <br />each time desiring/regretting the parting <br />lost in sensuous pleasures <br />feeding baser appetites <br />in the garden of earthly delights <br />in search of an unbounded love <br />seeking an Adonis <br />a satyr/a faun <br />who satisfies her desires <br />unable to see beyond the masks <br />willingly seduced <br />after a few drinks <br />the short lived affair <br />lasting a night or a weekend <br />left feeling confused <br />only to begin her search again - <br /> <br />From out of her eyes I see <br />a light shimmering <br />round about her body <br />shimmers <br />as she dips her wings in mud <br />the light fades <br />the burden too great <br />she goes on to fulfill her fate <br />trapped in an unending cycle <br />believing she can expect no more <br />of life than this <br />shapes her life to come <br />of an unending line of lovers <br />in the end all the same <br />all interchangeable - <br /> <br />Awakened from my apathetic cynical slumber <br />her angelic singing soothes <br />me for a moment /gives me hope <br />as her wings unfold <br />I desire to be enfolded <br />by the golden haired angel <br />her eyes innocent & forgiving <br />her face full of light <br />to be enfolded in her wings <br />of shimmering pure light <br />to soar above this city <br />bathed in her cool bluesy voice <br />before she becomes earthbound again -<br /><br />gordon coombes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/earthbound-angel-5-sensuous-angel-or-the-rose-of/
