My Fallen Angel

My Fallen Angel
 
Crossed my course as my lively limbs advanced
My eyes were hypnotised by your glamour
And my dear defenceless heart was entranced 
As Cupid’s dart defiled my daint armour.
 
Over to an angel, my love was won,
As my heart’s queen, for you laid the throne
For no queen preceded you, no not one
Prima Donna, to you my heart was prone.
 
You declined my most modest proposal,
Assumed my heart’s throne was least befitting
Though my heart bled at your blunt refusal,
You felt not the pain you were inflicting.
 
After many sun blinks of pain I bore,
My rep grew and you gave in to my bid
Guess my avowal was now worth much more,
Than a trivial trifle, slight and vapid.
 
The dawn of your tenure was blazing bright
My joyful heart jingled in jubilee
How could I have foretold a looming night?
So glumly a night, grave, grim and gloomy.
 
Recalling our brilliantly burning blaze,
And how you extinguished that gleaming glow
My mystified mind muddles in this maze,
Yet to be revived from your brutal blow.
 
Though I earnestly crave that fateful day,
When I’ll hear the buzzing of my heart’s bell,
Until cupid crosses my part, I say
Forlornly, Farewell my fallen angel.
