Angels Fly And Mortals Die

“Angels Fly and Mortals Die”
Was the unanticipated reply,
To a cryptic query, disputed in whisper,
But all that was before you disappeared.

“Angels Fly and Mortals Die”
Was the phrase that was fed to a mobile,
In a speeding car, in the dead of the night,
In velvety blackness, when nobody was in sight.

Angel was you, Mortal was me,
But that was before you could leave,
True to your name, you flew, on feathery wings,
Angelic, you were, in everything.

Angel were you, that also meant,
Eternal youth, to you, god had lent,
Strength, humor and intelligence,
Shined through you, brilliant.

Pure as nectar, honeyed and sweet,
And beautiful as wet earth, to the eye a treat,
Refreshing as the song-bird’s chirpy greet,
You were to the mortal, a masterpiece.

Angel were you, wonderful and blessed,
With love, a twin, two hearts cared,
You know that you would always be adored,
As you flew, in awe, they beheld.

The mortal was human, filled with empty pride,
She appeared impolite and often lied,
But the mortal assumed that mistakes were small,
She was an unmindful fool, and thought that the angel was tall.

When she broke the treaty, the angel took off,
Into the beckoning azure, never to look back,
And when he left, her mistake, the mortal did realize,
But all was already consumed in wakening fire.

The angel were you, and you did fly,
As promised, you left, elusive and sly,
On your solid principles, you did rely,
You kept your promise, you did not deny.

Guilt-ridden, sorry, and penitent
The mortal was truly repentant,
Her entire life was slowly spent,
In mournful and sad lament.

But the mortal was only alive so long,
Even if she was human, with the angel she belonged,
But time caught up and the mortal died.
And now all that remains is a once upon a time.

Because Angels Fly and Mortals Die….
Because angels fly and mortals die….
