Fallen Star

A poem from the point of view of Lucifer's younger brother Michael. The Prince of Heaven reflects on the Morning Star's rebellion against their Father and how they both destroyed a powerful bond.

Bright Morning Star you flew into my life
We lived peaceful in Heaven without any strife
A shining light, I adored you like no other
It was not long before I saw you as my brother
I taught you to fight and you taught me to fly
Our Father taught us both to never lie
We made a promise under the beautiful stars
To never be apart whether in Heaven, on Earth or Mars

As the light bringer, your radiance overwhelmed my soul
Perhaps telling you so is what made you feel pride at all
We angels exist to serve with no need for free will
It surprised me that you thought we could do more with our skill
Wrapped up in your wings you tell me we could together do great things
Tearing away I tell you my place is by Father even though it stings
Covering your pain with pride you gather those with no soul to sell
And against our Lord, God and Father you rebel

Staring at you from across the battlefield, our promise broken
On opposite sides of the spectrum, no confirmation spoken
Your shining white feathers fade into black
From that day on happiness is what I lack
In this war torn Heaven the light bearer now the adversary
Knocked from his perch by a mindless missionary
The Morning Star forever cast out by none other
By his heartbroken pawn of a baby brother

We reside in two opposing realms of Heaven and Hell
When the star left my Heaven it was blackened under your spell
You were always glowing bright, the sun at the start of the day
Now trapped inside the unforgiving eternal dark night, that is where I stay
Two brothers who betrayed each other, now with broken hearts
A Fallen Star and a toy soldier, forever torn apart
However I will wait all eternity to become what we were before
The princes of Heaven and Hell to become brothers once more.

Author's Note

I don't write poetry often. I don't even know if it counts as poetry, it's a bit long and a little too much rhyming? But I had the urge to write this so I did. Is it any good?
