fallen angel

here you are

your heart beating in my hands

tender flesh bleeding but not dead

you live with power no-one feels but me

i can never respond in kind to your gift

you are reality and i feel so small next to you

your heart beats again and caresses my palms

you melt into my being you live in me the only way

we can survive apart yet merged into a new form of life

as a fallen angel rising to meet each day in love forever
