How Am I To Save You Now? Poem by Joseph Oliver

Yet again I rise,
After all I have caused,
I Rise and you fall
Pain and horror escape your lips,
and I am, in your eyes and mine, Powerless yet Powerful!

Yet again I fall,
Aspen bringing me low,
Mortal flesh has ne'er been mine to own,
I can't resist the devil's fatal call!
Will you send me into hell below?
To destroy Lucifer's burning crown?

I can not resist your love,
You have changed the devil in me,
Now I must as an angel fly,
I am like a soaring dove,
Ne'er again my personal demons you'll see!
Just be silent and for me don't cry!

How am I to rise again?
If I am to save you from your sin?
You search for seas of purest gold,
But you find the hellish ninth circle cold!
In your search you leave me behind,
In Angelic blood a demonic contract you fatally signed!
You have sold your soul and mine,
I feel the pain of you crossing that blazing line!

How am I to save you now?
You are too far away,
You are now Lucifer's finest Sow,
Evil minds you now sway!
Please return to me!
Please just once more let me, your face, see!
So I'll ask you again......
How am I to save you now?
