Azrael

Azrael
Azrael

Who art thou my angel
deathlord or messenger of heaven
scary or scarred
beautiful and marred

demon in an angel's form
or just having a silent moan
burdened by the weight of the body
or the emotions at someone's loss

the knock knock on the body 
for the soul to take
sadness and pleasure 
breaking and entering
thoughts of people
the consolation of the living selves

Notes and letters
by people living and dying
does that evoke feelings in you 
and a place in your heart does it find?

the recordings of names and erasing of names,
the birth and the deaths
does it ever end!

( on P's challenge...just an effort to write about the angel of death)
