Fallen Angels
There’s a fallen angel at your door,
Fallen Angel, at your door,
Heaven or hell is waiting at your door.
Stare into eyes of ocean blue,
Stare into eyes of ocean blue,
And a smile that broke the devil’s neck in two.
The creatures in the pit can’t stand the light,

And Gabriel is on his guard tonight.
Bet your life you ain’t got time to live,

I described it to someone afterwards as like going into a trance. A kind of feed-back. If we read a poem, the feeling moves from the page and into us and touches our spirit. Whilst creating with inspiration it works the other
