Angel

The last laughter echoes deeply 
in the dark spacious hall
Midnight seems to have drained
the essence of time away
In front of that cross, your smile sways

Like a flickering candle in the wind
Someone is always near
Draped in black, hidden in the shadows
With skin as pale as the moonlight
And eyes which burn like sin

Like a feather blown by the wind, 
you gently glide 
Invisible lines form and fade with your steps
Your tears will never be hidden
even though your smile shines... 

Shimmering, shimmering
As if a sea of rubies were poured 
from a golden treasure chest
The candlelight engulfs you gently
While the whiteness of your gown aches...

Despite the figure which try to hold you
Despite the light which seems to adorn you
Despite those roses which wither because of you
Despite the cross which have fallen from imbalance... 
Despite everything... 

Your smile, 
stained with blood,
stained with tears,
stained with forbidden sins,
Turns midnight into an eternity... .
