Angels Poems
When Religion Becomes Your Opium
by Ghairo Daniels
WHEN RELIGION BECOMES
YOUR OPIUM
When religion becomes your
opium you slip into icy pre-dawn
to mosque then lie in fever flu
at dusk as bilal calls again
for you to stumble towards
beckoning forefinger guilt
chalices cringing crying

Where I am Free
by Ghairo Daniels
WHERE I AM FREE
My freedom lies beyond
the cloud of unknowingness
beyond mists of time where
I disappear into olive groves
which furl and unfurl in slow dawns
Here there are no gates
......
Angel of Darkness
by Yoko Fushigina
Being begotten in haze and despair,
By which helpless souls were branded,
Dark Angel left Heavens for earthbound Hell
To end the horror we'd started.
Tearing the chains of our minds
And breaking trough night and day,
Paving the way inbetween acid lies
She's solvation from our dismay.
She doesn't feel frightened crossing the sea

Angels Of The Love Affair
by Anne Sexton
'Angels of the love affair, do you know that other,
the dark one, that other me? '
1. ANGEL OF FIRE AND GENITALS
Angel of fire and genitals, do you know slime,
that green mama who first forced me to sing,
who put me first in the latrine, that pantomime
of brown where I was beggar and she was king?
I said, 'The devil is down that festering hole.'

Holy War
by Bryan Burkevics
Searing blades full of thunder,
Helping tear the world asunder,
Bleeding truth of guile and fear,
Raucous voices emit a cheer.
Bring again the word of dark,
Preying demons soon embark,
Stalk the innocent, selfless lives,
As light must flee so darkness thrives.

Hear the Musical Bells
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
they herald the sweet season
like blooms herald spring
while carolers' chorus sounds
angels are singing as well
in moonlight, upon a cloud
joy is everywhere
the bells remind us
of the love from up above
