Deranged Angel

Fire, fire burning bright
In the depths of hell tonight;
Icy crystal shining clear
Up in heaven’s belvedere;
But here between in our green fields
A greater wonder my sight yields…
You fell like a deranged angel
Into the shrapnel of today
Tried to tend the wounds
With some bathroom surgery
Hopes faded like cigarettes
In the ashtray of your heart
Erstwhile lighting up the night
But now ash meets flesh meets art
Lungs filled with unsaid words
And not one reaches your lips
As you stare at the eclipse
Of what could have been…
But a silence shared with you
Says more than a speech by a Queen
And your eyes whisper dark words
Meant to be not heard but seen
Your eyes whisper dark words
Meant to be not heard but seen
Your presence refills my heart
And our energy parts not but grows amazingly
Your words restore my spirit
And clear my mind to what is worth it
And what is not — guess what:
You are
You are so worth
Every kindness on Earth
Fire, fire burning bright
In the depths of hell tonight;
Icy crystal shining clear
Up in heaven’s belvedere;
But here between in our green fields
A greater wonder my sight yields…
You fell like a deranged angel into the shrapnel of today…
You fell…
