Would that I could glimpse you, Capture your unearthly beauty To keep you close by my side. Light my way in unholy darkness And keep the chill of evil at bay. A singular name that would merely Have to be called out, clarified For to name an object or being Is to give it power- And though you enchant me, I am indeed loathe to give you power. Witnessing your glorious form: Flowing hair, all-knowing eyes, a sly smile And a golden aura of purity and All that is good, pure and innocent. Deep down I fear that I am past it all- Redemption, cleansing…forgiveness Many foul deeds I have committed Some in your name, some in my sin Even now, I weep openly for want of you My angel, my light Can you truly see through, see true To judge my flesh into my soul And deem me worthy? Ready to carry the torch And sweep clear with your sword? To spread the word of the true coming The one both sinner and saint Are equally waiting for? Does this mean I am touched? Sanity lost in the light of knowledge gained; There is shame, for I wonder Is this drink and dream talk Or at long last, Does this rugged soldier have purpose?
