On Federalist 51: Angels

If all men were angels

We wouldn’t seek the devil

And the temptation I see

In your eyes.

If all men were angels

I wouldn’t dream about you,

Your seductive gaze rousing me

In the night.

If this man were an angel

I would be better to and for you,

Protecting your heart and soul

From the dark.

But I am certainly no angel;

Merely flawed flesh, blood, and bone

Craving hunger; yet I will never be

In your arms.
