An Angel's Love

AN ANGEL'S LOVE

i once knew love
such love most only dream of

i will keep it safe forever
in the castle of my memory

she still lives
the queen of my heart
in the shrine of my soul

in the darkness of lonely nights
her whispers return
to soothe the pain of my days

i can still smell her scent
on the soft summer rain
still feel the warmth of her skin
when the sun kisses mine

i once held heaven in my arms
but now heaven holds her
beyond the reach of my hands

if i never embrace such an angel again
i will die a happy man
for i once knew love most only dream of
