Beyond The Needle

Angel

I believe in yin and yang, right and wrong, the good and the very bad,

An order that must be here, to balance out the metaphorical live-and-learn-lab,

~

I know I've always been a devil, a regular little sinner,

What I never thought I'd become, was such a lucky winner,

~

You brought to me an angel, more valuable than gold,

One goddamn look at her and dammit, I was sold,

~

She mouthed me off, she put me in my place,

Reminded me of the power and passion that comes with the female race,

~

Now I worship her at her feet, I kiss each perfect little toe,

Every day I look at her, she nearly blinds me with her halo's glow,

~

Some people dream of angels - I hold one in my arms,

She smiles and I'm gone, she floors me with all her charms,

~

I thank you Jesus, Mary, Joseph and God, for giving me - a devil - an angel like her,

She puts my world in focus, the one that was such an awful blur,

~

I'll keep her safe, I'll be her faithful, I promise you all this,

Just promise me, that in return, she'll be the last I'll ever kiss.
