Angel Wings of Adonis


Adonis, Greek god of beauty And desire. When you’ve been crawled up In the corner, tucking your knees in To feel the dying flesh Of your past pressed tight You’ve given up Groping for a hand to grasp To pull you out of the Endless darkness You’ve longed to feel Something again To sniff a fragrance And taste it Take my hand I will be your lighthouse Bringing a lost ship Back home to shore Just when you thought No one would be there to grab Your hand A gentle tap on your shoulder Faith and promise Let you follow my lead When you had no idea Secrets wrapped tightly Masked presence We’re both master of Outward appearance But let us drop our defenses For eachother Like lovebirds reunited Let the love flow again That you thought you didn’t deserve Anymore. When you felt Lost with nothing left No piece of you left to give Your identity stripped from you Piece by piece You poor thing I want to be the one to remind You, that you are whole God forgives, and there’s Always a fresh start waiting Each soul has a purpose A reason for living For no one is without intent Let God take your hand from me now You are worth more Than words or emotion Pressed up against me I can see you.
