"My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, & known too late! Prodigious birth of love it is to me, that I must love a loathed enemy" ~Romeo and Juliet


An angel’s life, an unearthly glow
Living in the clouds
Miss the world below.

A demon’s existence, a malevolent light
Residing below Earth,
Never doing right.

A mortal’s life, brief and short
Living for the now,
Seeking support.

There must be a balance,
Between dark and light
An equal existence
A balance of might

Angels and Demons
Dark and Light
Fighting one another
Sacrificing life.

Not backing down
Never giving up
Constantly violent,
Forever stuck.




A hidden war rages on
Leaving no one safe,
Heaven, Earth, Hell below
Colliding in a deadly embrace

Gaining advantage
Losing field,
None of them willing
To openly yield

Mortals are oblivious
Living life day to day
Safe and secure
In their familiar ways

But once in a while,
A wandering soul
Will discover the world
Hidden in shadow

They discover the truth
Join in the fight
Helping to keep
A balance of might

Angels and Demons,
Mortal souls,
Fighting one another
Never letting go
