Sonnet 144 ~ Angel of Light; Angel of Nigh
In love’s trinity; one of simplicity and one of dejection, confront mind’s eye,
As two opposing apparitions tearing at my soul:
Angel of sunshine brightens my every waking hour,
Angel inferior, delves into deepest thought, piercing my heart; love fades to grey.
Such love soon to cast shadows, daggers and harsh cries of judgment upon me
Sends tempturous’ sweet love to the fore,
Berates my angel of light; casting devilish fabrication
Pursuing his purity by wretched pride.
If friendly acceptance and exoneration were to be had
I’ll never know, but no ill intentions exist;
As both are in distance place, peace envelops thought
But still, one angel is another’s devil:
Never to be defined in word, thought or deed; I will live in doubt of allied intentions,
As jaded angel impels and berates the grace and love of my sunshine’s angelic light.
