Angels and Demons

I took the time to delve deep into your eyes.
I saw winged seraphim in crystal skies.
I also saw devils with fire starting rage
Contained within a strong steel cage
I chose to love your demons and your angels - 
To dip your flames deep into my loving well.
To focus on the white wings within your soul -
While loving you not in part, but in whole.

Beauty Be Not Caused - It Is

Beauty - be not caused - It Is -
Chase it, and it ceases
Chase it not, and it abides -
Overtake the creases
In the meadow - when the wind
Runs his fingers through it -
Deity will see to it
That you never do it.
