The Burdon of Love **Alpha ArchAngel**

The moon has come and gone since about a year now,
Still I have seen nothing of your beautiful eyes.
I drive my cruiser to the top of the hill
Where the water tower stands guard
Like an eternally vigilant knight
Overseeing the world he protects,

alone.

From the top of the hill,
The world seems so peaceful.
Thousands of lights twinkle on the ground
Leaving me quite unaware of the events transpiring below.
I look up and see millions of stars twinkling down on me.
Maybe these stars are trying to tell me something
I stand there in the cool winterish night.
I intensify my gaze upon these celestial bodies
And almost believe that I am on the verge of hearing something
Something that had been cast into space for an eternity
just to meet me at this precise moment in time,
at this exact spot in the universe.
The wind caresses my ears ever so slightly
I concentrate because I can almost see it in the breeze.
I can almost hear it in the stars
Echoing in the far off cosmos like a memory of a dream.
Every cell in my body trying to decipher
The encrypted code the heavens have sent me.
I start to feel that I am falling
Falling thousands of feet through darkness.
My heart starts to pound
Memories rush into my consciousness
From the forgotten recesses of my heart.
The message is now roaring in my soul
So loud that I cannot hear it.
It has become so crystally clear
That I can’t even see it.
The world set in fast forward now passes me
I am caught motionless.
Then, just as suddenly as it first started,

silence.

I watch over the world that I protect,
From the top of my hill
I can only hear the wind once again.
I strain to hear it again,
only the soothing sound of the night air can be heard.
I turn to walk away,
I hear a whisper in my mind
A whisper that engulfs a fire inside my heart and soul
My soul stirred as if an angel had come down from heaven
To speak the only word that ever meant anything to me.
An angel came down to whisper
The one thing that could possibly keep me strong
The only thing that could bring a tear to my eye
The only name that could ever take my breath away
As if I had fallen into the icy depths of the Arctic itself.

Your name.

I turn and quickly look
At the stars once again before returning to duty.
A small ray of sunlight pierces through the grey place inside my heart
revealing a brilliant shade of glimmering scarlet hope.

Hope guides me,

It is what gets me through the day and the night.
The hope that after you had left from my sight,
It would not be the last time
I look upon your enchanted bluish grey eyes.
I love you more today
Than anyone has ever loved someone
Combined for an eternity.
As the moon shines bright through the trees
The branches dance in the wind
casting eerie shadows on the ground.
I still see your face
In the moonlight of my imagination.
Always hold me close in your heart.
