Angel in Black

Angel in Black 10/22/2013

In my mind

I have traveled far

A million miles above

And ten million below. 

Pacing back and forth

In search of something

That could never be found

Or possessed.

Searching for an angel

In black latex

With a sideways smile

And blowing smoke rings

In my face.

Someone who could see

And someone who could understand

All the absurdities of life

Yet still willing

To experience them all. 

But sometimes we miss

All that we have

As we struggle to recreate

A perfection

That does not exist.

My angel has always been here

Every step of the way

Flying all around me

And whispering in my ear. 

Her wings beating fast

As she rushes ahead

Always watching my progress

One inch at a time. 

Watching, waiting

And knowing every move

Smiling when I stumble

And blowing kisses when I stand.

Even before I knew

And even before I asked

Waiting to hold me

And wrap her legs around me. 

Nothing will hold us back

And all the pain will disappear

Because there is always more

Than what we have seen.

There will always be more

Ahead than behind

And all that we dreamed

Will be ours in the end.
