Loving so much as to ruin you
Still my hands touch you tender.
Loving so much as to steal you
Still I lock my love in my heart.
Before everything wears me through
I’ll hold you tight inside.
Before everything tears at you
I’ll become a lock – access denied.
An angel chained by a beast caught by beauty
Sins washed away by the swift flow of time.
Begging you to love me
I gave myself to this hell
Already a fallen angel
Only sweet time will tell.
An angel chained by a beast caught by beauty
Sins washed away by the swift flow of time.
Blessed by your soft slow smile
I’m bathed in glorious light.
Damned by lingering darkness
Hideous shadow of night.
Loving so much, cruel pain,
This embrace can’t last forever
Can’t be your all, your everything…
This love, broken feather,
Memories of soft leather,
Please don’t fade away into never…
Don’t fade away into never…

Oh my! this is such a gloriously dark write you have here. I love how your lines flow, and the emotions you weave with your words. Your imagery is divine, and I especially love:
"Blessed by your soft slow smile
I’m bathed in glorious light.
Damned by lingering darkness
Hideous shadow of night."
And the repetition of:
"An angel chained by a beast caught by beauty
Sins washed away by the swift flow of time."
really adds that something special to this poem
Thanks for sharing this, and taking the time to enter my contest,
Luck.
