Crucifixtion of an angel

She remains defiant in the face of death

Nailed to the cross
Accused of treachery and witchcraft
 

She was only true to her soul
She had a taste for adventure
She could bewitch and beguile
She was fantastic company

She loved romantic trips to Paris and Rome
She liked expensive clothes

A party animal who also had a sensitive side
 

Her lovers would spend all their money on her
But that was never enough to keep her close
 

She always felt the need to move
 

Always uncomfortable in one single place
A thirst for excitement which had to be quenched
 

Many of her partners became paupers
A few even took their lives
 

She was an explosive personality
 

Once you had spent an evening in her company
Your life would never be the same
 

And now..

 She has been judged by her former lovers
 

Found guilty of being a witch
An old crime in a modern setting
 

I kneel at her feet and beg her to forgive us all
 

"Your beauty corrupted our souls
Such beauty only belongs in heaven
Return to your eternal home

And forgive us for being mere mortals..."

kudos! I saw good/evil but also a bit of feminism. There is a hint of her being punished for not assuming
the role of a passive woman. From this point of view I saw the men punishing her because many lost their
masculinity by not being able to please her. Seems they may have been angry because they felt unjustifiably worth of her love, but did not have the personality to earn it. Special people are attacked on a daily basis because they do not settle. Wonderful piece.
