+ The Angel Poem by Jordan Legaspi

the angel

-the transparent halo
of honor and of purpose
the identity through mysterious
lingered with controversies across the ages

-the swift feathers
of strength and of significance
as an authority though dexterous appearance
painted with different colors of brilliance

-the obscure countenance
of sexuality and its part in the humanity
as an spirituality though beyond his reality
contoured with message of either saintly or cruelty

-the evident nature
of string, of quill, of stuff, and of sword
as an emblem from its great lord
penned in the scriptures, and in books of old




Note:
The “the angel” is one of the characters of the author’s “brotherhood's circle”- the poetry in motion: the elf; the warlock; the jester; the poet; the philosopher; the king; the knight; the hermit; the scientist; the priest; the vampire and the alien.
