I
THE ANGEL
Ebony streaks the scales of the magnificent wings of a wyvern
While angels fall from their posts in heaven
Where all of God’s dirty secrets are hidden
A world unlike any other emerges
One of transparent suns
-And of shallow waters
God points his fingers while smiling
As his judgment throws his angels in to ashes
And rips the holy wings of truth away
One angel remains
Shedding a solemn tear
As his heart shatters and breaks
At the sight of his faith decomposing
And all of heavens wonders being raped
And stripped away
The angel stood before the God
That he once worshiped and praised
As he realizes that when faith was reposed
God too had did the same
So the angel looked to his god
While holding his arms agape
And said unto him
“I love you this much”
As God nodded and watched
As his angel turned and walked
And entered Hell’s gates.
An Angel No More
Ruined in madness are hopes for an end
In this existence where suffering shall make amends
Cast into Hell by the one whom I adored
And on my back I carry scars
Where my wings are no more
My pain is eternal
No hopes of washing it away
Yesterday I was an angel
But no longer am I today
I awoke this morning
Filled with such rage
Confusion and hatred toward my Lord
For the way I was betrayed
On bended knees I worshiped him
With arms held agape and still
He sought out vengeance on all my kind
But ‘twas only I that he left here
Oh, how God’s dirty secrets are unfolding
And just like I have
His kingdom too is sure to fall
For all the love that he has
Yet he cast me out
And I am his true and only begotten son
Oh what my father has done unto me
Casting perils and misfortune my way
Not so long ago he loved and needed me
By his right side is where I would stay
Now I am forgotten
Like my brethren who once was
Alone in this world that has become my own
Where beasts of my blood
Out of the shallow waters
Emerge and transform
II
THE DEMON AWAKES
My children have awakened
And have opened my eyes
No longer do I feel sorrowful
For my fathers lies
Unconditional love which he claimed to have had
Was nothing more then a fairy tale
Embedded in his deceitful web
I have become a king
Of many nations which I was betrothed
I thank my father for casting me out
For when he did
To me the truth was shown
His philosophers
Some of which are still unknown
Oh how they will write about me
And of my father
Sitting on his majestic thrown
They will write a story
Full of fables and fictitious tales
And they will write of his judgment his wrath
And of this place
My home known as Hell
So many mortals will read these
Myths; these lustrous tales
And believe me to be a beast
Responsible for all the world’s plagues
Fear me not though
For I too have suffered
Who should you trust more
A forgotten son
Or an unjust father?
III
LETTERS FROM ABOVE
My father he writes me
Of his glorious kingdom and still
I am grateful for my own
And want to return
No more to his
I was bound to this place
By his rapture, his will
And now reside on my own thrown
With my own terms
My own reasons
He signs his letters
With closings saying that
I am his
But his I am no more
For when he cast me out of his life
I opened a new door
A new era
One where I am as equal as he
One with my own laws
Where I no longer bow down on my knees
My arms are held agape
And are extended no more
No longer do I worship
Or recite the vile words
I have not a reason
To recite Hail Mary’s
Nor spend mass quantities of time
Listening to his words or giving mortals
The meanings of life
His letters speak of peace
And of the thing I once was
But peace resides no more
For my rage has taken it’s place
IV
FORGETFUL FATHER
He reached down and touched Mary
And Joseph as well
And bestowed upon them a son
Guarded by new angels
Their son
Whom is known by the name of Jesus
My father claims as his
A martyr in the flesh
And this I shall not forget
I was once his child
Held in utmost regards
But when I was cast down
I too was forgotten about
A replacement he created
One in an image that is only his
No more a child of his
Am I
So many times I called upon his name
But never did he hear
‘Twas as if I no longer mattered
As if he had never loved me
Obedience was said
To have never been a quality of mine
Along with authority
For which I had a blatant disregard
Out of curiosity
And questions kept in mind
My fathers hidden secrets
I have searched to find
I discovered a few
Which father didn’t like
Thus the reason he turned into
A vengeful God
V
HELL HATH NO FURY
Of all the rage I have inside
It is my father’s vengeance
Which plagues this place
He loves his new child
His son who bears his mark
Yet oh how he allows him to suffer;
To cry
To be alone
I watched as Jesus fell upon his knees today
And prayed for father to save him
I watched as he was beaten
And his faith too
Was stripped away from him
I wanted to help
To reach out and save him
But father intervened
And continued to betray him
He is lost and I am forgotten
My brethren, my brother,
The continuation of my bloodline
Hell hath no fury
Like that of our father
So scornful so devious
So vengeful and intolerable
He crucifies his martyr
For the sins of the ones
He made in his own image
While his mortal son weeps such sorrowful tears
Asking “Father why has thou forsaken me?”
VI
MY FIRST KNOWN NAME
Father’s mortal child
He was murdered, ‘twas slain
As were those who loved him
Those who dared to speak his name
How could he be forsaken
As I too once was
He was beaten and tortured
And I went through much the same
Now I mentioned once before
The philosophers
And what they will write
But if you pay close attention
You will learn my first Angelic name
Known to all who read this
I am the Son of the Morning Star
I am the first but not the last
Angel that will fall
It is said in the scriptures
That the prophets shall write
There will be a mortal in my image
Who will undo my father’s work
And all of his creations
Will fall apart
Author notes
It is strange how the subject of this came about. My grandmother and I were conversing one day and she posed an interesting challenge to me. See I am not a Christian, Catholic, Baptist, nor member of any other uniformed faith. I am a Pagan, or in the words of my grandmother “A tree hugging , dirt worshiper.” She asked me to write a poem in book format, each segment a different title from the perspective of Lucifer. She said to me ” Wouldn’t it be interesting to read about things the Bible speaks of but doesn’t indulge upon?” Thus this poem was created.
