Heaven's dagger

A sort of prequel to my other poem, Falling Angels. I haven't free versed in a while so bear with me haha

Lucifer traipses through the crowd

unnoticed in his shroud of deception

His thirst for the Angels' blood, will soon be quenched

their insolent ignorance will soon bring about his victory

 

Malicious delight washes over him

as he thinks of his own ingenious plan

To use the one lethal device

never predicted to harm Heaven's inhabitants

 

The golden blade tingles against his ashen skin

an unlikely match between Heaven and Hell

The ancient dagger, pivotal to his plan

is inscribed with the true name of every angel, their defeat

 

Triumphantly, he sinks the blade into the angel's back

golden blood fountains from the wound

His victim's fair wings begin to crumble

the first of the Fallen

 

The rest will undoubtedly join

This is really deep. I loved the meaning within, you did well with this. Great write.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very strong poem. Could expand to a powerful story. I like the pace of this tale. Lucifer stalking the Angel and celebrate the victory. A excellent poem.

This puts a whole new spin on and old tale. This is vivid and clear and it is done very creatively.

[Paradoxical]

I looooooove the imagery with the golden blood and crumbling wings. That's just awesome :) It does almost seem to me too that there's a deeper meaning, but it's a mystery! Love it, great one

The idea behind this is pretty creative. Golden blood? That's just awesome XD. I'm not 100% sure if there is a deeper meaning behind this, but it sounds like there is. I enjoyed reading it. Good job.
