Angel

Angel

Sleeping tucked away inside a shell around the soft inside
gentle heart throbs with light shoos away the angry night
Safe within her warm embrace years fall from your tired face
youth comes back true to form relaxed anew a child reborn
her voice a touch that's whisper soft
it sends your jaded heart aloft
the airy being with downy wings
transcends the dread in earthly things
no more the sadness the guilt the pain
for a time you're free of reality's drain
then slowly she will loose her hold and nudge you back toward your world
the place created by yourself your soul on ice
high on a shelf
though to this angels' breast you cleave
she'll smile at you when she makes you leave
back to the children, your house, your life,
back to your cold indifferent wife,
unsure you are which way to go,
she'll pull you close, and let you go.
