This Angels Breath Poem by James Casey

This Angels Breath

This angels breath destroyed all sense
The rush of wings, I'd no defense
She burns my eyes and drains my soul
It's the most splendid pain I've ever known

That Christ should set this angel free
To exorcise this fear in me
And still I'm besieged by inner ghosts
It's this lack of fear that I fear most

So should she choose, return my love
And forsake, for me, her home above
Then this angel's course can cure my faith
I'll surrender to her, all my saving grace

James Casey 1988
