Always an Angel

As always, criticisms are encouraged.

Wonderland, out of reach

Drifting tantalizingly near

Tangibly, this world reveals

Beauty to move you to tears

 

Forbidden land, I cannot reach

The voices made that clear

Just as the snake in Eden

I taint it as I come here

 

Mother of Earth, bringer of war,

I serve you dutifully

Perfecting giving to people

What you gratefully gave to me

I have the voice of none else but yours

My soul dirt awaiting the sod

For I’ll always be the angel, and never be the God, oh lord

I’ll always be the angel, and never be the God.

 

Sinfully I start to sing

A song newly born

The voices all scold me for on your rose I am the thorn

They take away that confident, little girl that I once knew

Hoping that when all was gone

I’d crawl back home to you

Mother of Earth, bringer of war,

I serve you dutifully

Perfecting giving to people

What you gratefully gave to me

Can’t I have a say

In the piper that I pay

But the voices attack promptly

And I’m quiet another day.

 

When the words on the page

Start to become my own

And the thoughts start to pool

And they overflow

Keep your head in the clouds

Until those voices fade away

For you’ll always fear it true

And deep in wonderland

It grows on you

 

Mother of Earth, bringer of war,

Look at me pitifully

Sharing secrets of glory

Never revealed to me

I cannot bear to hear my voice

My soul as useless as it is odd

For I am no angel

But I’ll never be a God.
