By cherubic graces we are fated
Held together by common interests
Winged angels measure, our hearts weighted,
We somehow find ourselves a place to rest
Love shall be willed upon us now, it’s true
For all of Heaven smiles with sweetness pure
And rapture wrapped in bliss for all you do
Your fragile nature itself half the lure
Cold comfort in today, not in sorrow,
For when you ascend, my heart will go stiff
Watching them take you where I cannot go
Useless is my longing for only ‘if’

With this broken arrow I cling unto,
Waiting helpless, as Heaven sends for you

======================

(nope...cant pick just a few lines of this jewel of your poetic crown)

this is a sonnetized *sigh* *S*
superb poetic use of metaphor here PK ...
this is an ethereal and celestial beauty ..
with such well conceived poetic phrases employed as well.

"For all of Heaven smiles with sweetness pure
And rapture wrapped in bliss for all you do
Your fragile nature itself half the lure"

"For when you ascend, my heart will go stiff
Watching them take you where I cannot go
Useless is my longing for only ‘if’

With this broken arrow I cling unto,
Waiting helpless, as Heaven sends for you"

like I said poet sir...*sighs on high*

oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive
~Sarah McLachlan~

You have taken my heart and twisted it. Tis going to happen to all of us, sooner or later. Hopefully later.
