Is it love or is it blasphemy

His wings white and flawless in appearance
Hers black and torn
Though separate on the outside on the inside they are but one

His touch is warm and hers is cold
When life's kiss plays upon them time stands still
Hearts playing a symphony of emotions that no one knows

No words are needed for their hearts beat as one
With each other the stream of life will run
But without each other's embrace life would cease to exist

Now I ask you
Is it love or is it blasphemy...

Author notes

Option 1 number 5: I wrote about a kind of spiritual twist on a Romeo and Juliet Valentines Day. An angel falls in love with a demon and it is your judgement to decide whether it is love or blashphemy. Hope you enjoyed it!!!

    So, you'd totally be the woman in this.
    Not 'cause you're a lady *cough* but because you have...
    Erm, black wings, like she does.

    Heheheheeee.
    Gay jokes are awesome.

    This is very good. I like the comparisons in the piece. (Hot and cold) Very talented, obviously. Thanks for sharing and keep up the greatness. Best wishes to you.

    Hello bittersweet,

    You had me until I read the authors notes. I think that your poem was good.. and would be better if you ended it with the line that starts with, "but without each other's embrace".....

    Welcome to All Poetry~

    This is very pretty. Words are selected that give it balance. Nothing too fluffy, but honest and soft.

    *Suggestion*
    I would curtail the title.
    Example: " Is it Love or Blasphemy" Or even,
    "Love or Blasphemy". this will allow it to
    be said with just a few more words at the ending.
    A little tweaking would polish this one. Otherwise,
    a good contender. Very nice.
    Thank you for entering ! Warmly, CookieZeal

    An interesting little twist in the contest. Nicely done. I have seen a picture that would go well with your words here... though you have painted a vivid enough image with your lines.
    Keep writing on and enjoy the site.

    I love the concept of this, but the poem feels unfinished to me. I'd love to see you expand upon it. Good luck.

    This is indeed written well, but to go with the rules, it would be nice if you could add the Option u chose to write about in your authors comments.

    Beautiful!

    Ah, the almighty Nate Grafton!
    Hurrah! Hurrah!

    I really, really love this poem. Not to mention, blasphemy is one of my most favorite words!

    I think it's blasphemous love Hahaha.

    Bravo, my Darling
