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
