AN ANGEL'S CRIME

Author: Audra Lillian Newton

An angel tantalizes me with heaven's fire,

To covet a life just beyond my grasp.

Years paint the path of forbidden desire,

As his wings burn my skin.

Woe to you, forbidden Angel,

Oh blissful agony drown my cries,

Expose my souls ravenous despair,

Gratify me with your wings afire.
