Trade Their Wings

Angels cry and cannot fly when mortal love floats above. For though desire burns like fire, its flame is subdued by shame. Masked in fear, love draws a tear, as crying eyes wet the skies. Angels ache so; their tears flow, and that pain morphs into rain. Veiled dreams approaching extremes, levies a toll on their souls. And angels cope without hope, wishing they could skip those days. Love, once denied, cannot thrive or garner bliss from a kiss. But when love starts stirring hearts, they'd trade their wings for such things.
