So Blessed

When the angels fly
Beyond your lapis gaze,
It's then that I see
The seductive devil
Waiting,
Beneath your cool,
Collected,
Calm,
Veneer.
It's a strange thing
To see you smile,
Without a wing
And a prayer,
To save you
From revealing yourself--
I rather like the devil
In you.
I have heard you sing
The songs of innocence,
But you've sung them
With the sweet voice
Of experience--
Ah, I love to hear you sing!
There's nothing like a melody,
From the mouth of one,
So blessed,
So beautiful,
So brave...
Have I ever told you
Just what you mean
To me?
I would tell you
"I love you,"
But that just doesn't say
Nearly enough.
