The Warrior and The Angel by Debra Rose

School assignment. Hope everyone likes it! I wrote it when I was really really tired...trying new forms of imagery...I'm going to sleep now...

Dancing alone on the shores of solitude
A beam of light broke down from the clouds
And the lone warrior lifted bright blue eyes
To watch as the angel descended from high

Frail and unknowing of the human ways
The warrior lifted the body and cleansed the wings
Dressed the form and held him close
Protecting him from the demons of loneliness

Time wore on and their limbs intwined
Consumating devotion on the edge of the river
Letting the ice wash over them in ambidexterous touches
Whispering oath of warrior and angel verbatim

Yet soon the angel was called back high
Leaving the warrior alone in his solitude
Now incomplete he sat in the river and cried
Yet it no longer cleansed the warrior without him.

And the years passed and his soul grew cold
He fought without mercy in sadness and rage
Cold blue ice where the river had frozen him
Took over the place where his heart should have been.

Soon the world was no longer suitable for him
And he sat by a fire contemplating how to die
Reiterating his stupidity for thinking he would return
As his hands fondled his dagger in tentative ambition.

Then blood trickled from his mouth where the metal was plunged--
He fell back to the ground his hand still on the hilt.
And as the world darkened he heard a saddened cry;
His angel had returned only watch him die.
