Forgetting Your Wings

Take my hand
Descend with me
Your world will be as mine

Blood smeared over your eyes
Such pain under your skin
Shall you be pathetic?
As all those I have accompanied

Take this gift of mine
A quiet reminder of misery
The most stunning black rose
Wilting in your arms

Oh beautiful you've forgotten
The most vital piece of existence
These wings we were to share
Soaring into the realm together

Will your misery fill the sky?
Tears shuddering down my arms
Open your wings, learn to fly
There's no way I can carry us both

My friend I'm here for you
Yet you will simply not learn
Accepting my imagination
But never standing for yourself

Let the roses wilt amongst your arms
Cry all you wish, there's little left
I'll open these wings and spring forth
A being of simple shadows
A play upon the night sky

Cold and heartless you were to leave
To forget these blackest wings
And yet here I am once again
A being of strength and honour

Let the black roses rain upon your skin
Allow them to wilt and die
Silently, you'll be reminded
As you hold this umbrella above your head
A part of their reality
As I soar through the skies
Patterns of nature bowing to me
These black roses of my heart falling

    Wowzers! Wonderful penning
    You difinitely step outside-the-box here writing a captivating, metaphoric piece..in fact, I believe that you chose to let the reader form for his or her perception..I'm sure that I'm incorrect, but the "Angel of Darkness" sticks in my mind throughout this piece..so much so, I could not let that vision go..black roses are often considered to by symbols od death as well..so the corellation between them both makes much sense..anyhow..Great imagery and a nice read...
    Very well done! Wish you the best of luck..David
