I once heard tell of an angel on earth
Upon hearing a tale, inside I felt a feeling being birthed
One of yearning, curiosity, confusion and hurt
See a lonely young I, found love absurd
Yet a meeting did occur on a weekend morn
At the turn of a corner a light started to form
In my dark sea of despaired thoughts and emotions ashore
The heard tale of the angel wasn’t a tale anymore
A bright light made of color blasted light through the dark
Two eyes made of ebony pierced my soul into a spark
A shock of reality bringing my train of love out of park
Out of all, she couldn’t choose I, unless I hit the mark
Weeks it took to approach the bright light
My eyes had been blinded by life’s explosive plight
But one fateful day my courage spread it’s wings and began to take flight
A gaze into the soul, piercing strong eyes caused me to conjure all of my might
Humor I summoned, to make my first approach
My hands wet and shaky, I resembled a ghost
But confidence rose like a fever, I gave insecurities a roast
As this angel so bright couldn’t pass me by like most
Here’s where I feel shocked, where I have to take note
The angel is sitting next to me a year later, I feel need to gloat
How I won her favor, what I said to sail her boat
Was, “You should come over later, wearing only a trench coat”.
