Fallen (Achievement #45 = 2 points) (angel picture)

she was beautiful

graceful as she soars in the skies

nearly blending in with the gentle white clouds

projecting a sense of calmness and tranquility

she was loved

choirs of the heavens sang

as she passed

showered with affection

she was perfect

the ideal for all of them

the purest of them all

the most righteous of all

and then she wasn't

one day

she fell astray

banished away

as many held tears at bay

she

cast out

she fell in love

yet there were no singing doves

oh, alas that forbidden love

as if a brush painted

tainting the canvas

wings of ivory transformed into

those of a raven

feather by feather

strands of gold turned to the inky

black of hell

a bodice of white into pitch

yet her tears were still clear

streaming as she cried in pain

her heart ripped apart, soul laid bare

her efforts in vain

for she did not care

being cast out

yet her lover was gone

destroyed by the one

she called her father

she sat there on the surface

elegant and graceful

deadly and disastrous

as a black swan
