The Angel in Black

The Angel in black

She found me alone in the darkness.
I had seen her before.
We were not strangers.
He face pale and beautiful.
Her lips red as blood.
She touched my hair 
like a mother.
Are you ready she whispered.?
Yes milady I am ready.
I have called upon you many times.
Yet you refused my kiss.
Yes milady, I whispered.
Why?
I was afraid milady.
Are you afraid now old man?
No milady.
Not now.
Then kiss my lips.
I touched my lips to hers.
The pain went with my breath.
And she held me to her breast.
Folded her dark wings
About my frail body.
And we left it behind.
As we flew into the night
far above the dark sky.
Where the sunlight
never ends
