Cascaded Guardians
This is a short poem I wrote some time ago. I truly love the concept of fallen angels, and I decided to write about them. This poem tells of two angels who are being exiled from Heaven for having a forbidden love with each other. Yes, it does incorporate religious themes, but it is not necessarily religious, nor is it suggesting anything about religion, at least, not in my mind. I hope this is as enjoyable for others as it is for me. Most of my poetry tends to be dark and depressing, so this is an example of a slightly lighter side to my usual antics. I'm excited for this to be my first upload onto SF, and I hope to hear feedback!

Autumn wind whispers across their broken spirits
Darkness surrounds their fading figures
Far from salvation, close to damnation
They ensconce alone, a dreary, lonely vision
Behind them appears an astonishing sight
An outline of glory in the silent night
Shining with luster, a majestic white
Plagued with burden, their inherent plight
Love's memory traces their outline
A past of grand passion and radiant fervor
Marvelous beings, once divine
Cascaded guardians, they tread on further
Perhaps in limbo, perhaps on Earth
Stars fall around them, a heavenly kiss
It could be forever, even eternity
They partake in this, an evanescent bliss
Towards the unknown, the journey they face
No destination, no haven to harbor
Their souls scarred, slowly dissipate
Together they'll stand, as He forbade
