Deep Metaphoric Stuff
Fallen Angel
Flying high above the night sky,
the coolness of the distant night breeze greets my journey -
my journey down to the darkened mortal realm,
as I hear both their deperate cries and silent prayers,
all seeking for long awaited salvation.
Here I come, I come for you,
I bare with me the promise of salvation.
When I lay my warm gentle hands on yours,
I promise complete protection and comfort,
while you're sleeping soundly in my gentle embrace.
Just with a kiss of my tender lips,
will bring life itself to your aching heart,
and tears of joy to your weary eyes.
Here I come; I hear your calling, .
I've answered your calling, will you receive it?
Through your window I come, landing in your bedroom
with my feet touching the cold and heartless ground,
carrying the promise of salvation with me.
Little did I know - the angel of time was whom you seek.
your heart has no room for the angel of love.
I can't turn back time; I can't change the past.
but would you accept the promises of future which I control?
Crying in the corner, I approached you,
every forward step of of faith and courage I take towards you,
a part of me takes a step back from fear.
I reached out my hands to calm your shaking shoulders,
but clenched into a tight fist just a breath away from them -
scared of hurting a gentle soul such as you.
God forgive me - I've tried.
But the blankness of her eyes, sends blasts of snow across my face;
Her heart is emtombed within a frosted chamber that is lost in time -
The coldness of her icy lips only tells me I'm not needed here.
Losing the grace of God, I plunged from the clouds down to the mortal realm,
like a great meteor of burning flame, falling to its uncertain fiery destruction.
My wings burst into balls of flame, setting alight those pure soft feathers.
The silent drops of tears from my eyes,
are simply not enough to to put out the hungry unmerciful flame.
It's alright - where I'm going burns with eternal fire anyway.
Even when the flame tears and rips across my body and soul killing all my senses -
but nothing compares close to the pain within my heart.
It's time; my time has come.
I see the silhouette of of my shadow getting larger.
No time; I'm running out of time.
I hear the muddy ground opens up to greet me.
I close my eyes, sending one last drop of tears down my cheeks -
and I realise...
I'm no angel after all, I don't bring salvation;
I'm but a fallen angel, who fears the flame -
but come to close and you'll get scorched.
Only God can grant me salvation -
Father, I'm coming home.
Chungy
(dedicated to all the heart broken people in the world who has problems forgetting their painful past & not having the courage to love again.)

Hey there~
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful post =) It's indeed very meaningful, it made me teared after reading it =)
p/s: btw, where is d song u composed? haha..still in process ar?=P
-aLLYSa-
allysa: whoa, tearing? i dint know i hav DAT kinda talent in composing these sorta things. =P actually, it was kinda spontanious, was inspired on a windy morning back in uk - not really emo, just more like a generalise topic =P hahaha... da song has 2 be on a halt - no piano back in uk =(
haha..yeah, im such a cry baby ay? easily teared >.< I guess maybe i was being reminded of sth..which made me teared as i read ur post..haha..anyway, bout d song..it's ok..one day, maybe u'll be able to finish it ;) who knows by tat time u might change ur mind and gonna sing d song for us? *haha* jk =P
allysa: nolar, im sure my poems mean much more when they relate it personally 2 their own past experiences. i'll be more busy writing stuff these days i guess, as i always do in manchester. yeah, perhaps one day i will finish it n sing it... =)
wendy: huh? delete wat post?
It's a bit dark and contradictive, huh. Does this mean your love is not reciprocated?
Advice: When it strikes, it strikes. Take it from the man who is 40 years old and still a virgin. He's not weird, just waiting for 'the one'. In your case, 'your one' is just round the corner =)
sister: aiyoh, told u this was not aimed personally at myself lor.
but anyways, a lil analysing frm da author - this work brings 2 points: first, its denial of love plain n simple. second, is a realisation by da narrator dat he is actually "no angel" and can't actually provide "promises" of love under circumstances. There r also elements of da narrator hesitating to help her bcoz by gettin closer he hhurts her n himself... but dats much much deeper stuff.
hahaha... i still cant forgive u 4 saying da 40 year old virgin guy reminds u of me... =P
=) don't be like that, it's the good part (the mushy n cheesy part) that u're like him, not the other (geeky and weird) part.
Aren't we all a little too young for this deep metaphoric stuff? Why complicate our mind with screwed up authors like the fallen angel? Why shed any tear at all? I'm not saying I'm happy go lucky, but aren't there more important things to worry about? priorities? goals and targets?
sister: again i stress its not about myself. maybe i like writing stuff leh? writing deep stuff makes one think, makes one mature minded, makes one more sensible.
emotions r one thing humans cant ignore - its a crucial part of our development of mind n body.
well, i take da 40 year old virgin guy thing as a compliment then? =P
