When He Fell For An Angel

At the backyard of my home,
Stood a giant ficus like a dome.
I spent my evenings near a glade,
Watching wee little plants bloom in its shade.
The birds and bugs often babble, chirp and roar,
Of someone luscious on the ficus whom they all adore
Hails and thunderstorms gushed from heaven 
It made all little beings rush to their mansion
Lightning flashed and made me go blind,
I stood there stumbling, till the weather was kind
Someone arose from the ficus by my side,
He stared and smiled at me with pride

Holding my hand, he kissed me a loads,
For he was the devil ruling the woods.
Majestic his looks and pleasing his voice,
For he was not visible to anyone by choice.
Ask me your wish and see it fulfilled,
These were the words he cited with poise.
I ain't got just one wish,but a few more to sum
But, the foremost I begin is with your own home
Take me on the ficus,make me a swing,
With the strong pillar roots, give me a fling.
With a charming smile,he groped me tight,
Closing my eyes he took me on a flight.
The hairs of the ficus turned now to a swing,
I sat on swing and the wind began to sing.
Up to the sky and back to the woods,
Like clumps of wool,we flew over a pool.

Get me those lilies, lying cool and allure,
Fulfill my next wish, I prayed on our tour.
My darling, my love, I beg you take a look 
He swam wd a bunch of lilies from the brook.
Sitting at the shore, gazing till twilight,
I rested on his arms , till the day turned night.
My lady, my ally, he quoted with a smirk,
You have to go back , afore it gets dark.
Fulfill my wish , I pray let me stay,
Oh! you lil mortal, oh you my lil miracle,
I wish, I could keep you forever in my castle
But you are an angel, I can win only in a battle.
With drooling tears  and anguish soul,
 We left each others hand, without any brawl.
A promise was made,  from the heaven as a boon 
Let the angel meet the devil once in a blue  moon
