Angel In My Dreams

Spinning in a daze,

A vortex if you will.

A vicious fiery blaze,

As cool as winter's chill.

 

I stand in the center,

With this chaos all about.

Not know what is better,

Staying in or getting out. 

 

An angel then descended,

From the Heavens above.

Beautifully suspended,

By huge black wings of a dove.

 

"Come here my love"

She said unto me

"I am a herald for you, from above"

Her face so sweet, but so hard to see.

 

"I have a need of you,"

She whispered in my ear.

"And in return I will give you"

"Life eternal, my dear"

 

I stared in wonder

Not able to think.

An unspeakable blunder,

So stunned, I couldn't even blink

 

Suddenly word flowed through me,

I had never known before.

Quickened was my glee,

For it was the answer and more.

 

"For you my angel,

I will fill your hearts content.

But never will I tangle,

Myself in your merriment."

 

"Your game isn't for the likes of me

The simplest of my kind.

But I will share with thee,

The wonders in my mind"

 

"I will give you my heart,

While still beating in my hand.

But never shall you part,

Or even abandon your plan."

 

The angel roared in anger,

Caught between happiness and rage.

For a mortal had bested her,

And trapped her in her own cage.

 

"For the joy I feel,

I will give you a wish.

But for my rage,

I will give you death's kiss."

 

Then for my wish"

I said unto her.

"I wish you know peace,

For there is no better reward."

Wow sweetie!
I didn't expect the twist. :0)
I like your descriptions here they are exceptionally vivid and poignant.
I'd be interested in seeing more because didn't you state this was your first attempt at writing in awhile? ~grin~ You should show us some of your oldies. Plus new ones as well. But all in all I like this.
Brava!

you certainly set up the idea of chaos with many opposites throughout this piece which is kewl. the entire story you weaved worked well. i'd just like to see you break out and leave the rhyming scheme behind you. let us really feel your passion!

Faerie Blessings!
