Meeting the Archangel
Descended thus, did he.
The angel with one wing.
Who are you?
“I am summoned to bring forth a world of suffering.”
Why?
“Of your past, was I, and thus the remedy for hurt.
Of your present, am I, and thus embodying all woe.
Of your future, will I be, and thus end mankind’s tomorrow.
Of your grief was I born.
Until you know yourself
All form of lust you hold shall tremble at my fingers.”
I spoke blank thoughts
and slurs of the tongue.
“Are you a swirl
of darkness incarnate
or a female’s bosom
eaten by a badger?”
I am all but myself.
“Then I shall be you.”

A wonderful piece..reflects deep understanding of how things come to be..not all that complicated but seems folks do not get it..positive good trust is one way..defensive insecure guilt is opposite and another..plus all the things in between..if folks would not be so self indulgent I believe they could live and share as never before..Peace Tony
Thank you for you comment and analysis! I agree. The poem seems more complicated than it is on first glance. You did a good job finding the themes embedded in the poem and I’m so glad you liked it! 🙂 Regards, Fredrik
I agree.
