Fallen from glory,
the gargoyle and his wings.
Cast out from her realm,
the beautiful angel sings:
"Oh what shall we do,
cut off from what we love?
Together here we are,
in the painful story of,
temptation, greed, and lust."
Turning his head,
so he can see her face.
The gargoyle, not quite dead,
states his sorrowed case:
"We can stand up and fight.
Or lie down and die.
These are our only two choices.
Do you give up your right,
to be in the sky,
and sing with such beautiful voices?
Will I forget the night,
when the land is dark and dry,
and free from incessant noises?"
So together they stand,
their heads held on high.
Their entrance is grand,
back to the lives that almost died.

WOW! I loved it! The fact that they would give up everything to be together was incredible. Everything flowed very well. As i was reading ti aloud nothing felt forced so great job. And the story was very beautiful.
Excellent work! -

i love poems that rhyme, this is great well done..
-
Beautifully rhymed and with a lovely moral lesson. the first stanza's great and the last one so hopeful. I loved it. It gives you a new spirit. I don't know if a poem has a meaning when written I think it's made up of feelings that takeform after the poems written, um dunno whatever! But still it's great. Best Of Luck!

This is such a great piece. I love the feel for it. Usually, I don't really like poems that rhyme. This however had brilliant flow and the rhyming didn't seem forced at all. This truly is an amazing write. Keep it up!
