I once met an angel named deception who whispered broken promises in my ears so I would live in her lies I once met an angel named vanity who lurked with a vengence behind the faces she consumed in a morbid masquerade to take away all feeling of something real I once met an angel named ignorance not understanding things so simple unable to differentiate the dying from the living maybe just because she didnt want to see the truth. I once found the devil with an angel's face an angel who came to me in silent dreams saw my transparent secrets taunted my weaknesses gazed at me with those blue eyes drinking my salty tears like the blood of love's martyrs which now mingles with my own. I once found the devil with an angel's face but I couldn't tell the difference any more. |

Beauty is deceptive sometimes, but then again, so many things are. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." -Charles Brugnot |

this is excellent...very well written and also thought provoking...lessons to be learned from this one... take care, janet marie Now for me some words come easy... But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch. You never knew what I loved in you-- I don't know what you loved in me... Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be... How long have I been sleeping- How long have I been drifting alone through the night... How long have I've dreaming I could make it right... If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might To be the one you need... Jackson Browne |
