RemoteUser -> 'The Angel & the Devil' - Direct the Story (5/5/2012 8:04:21 PM)

Feathered wings unfurled
with a crowd of rustling murmurs
and a shining hand was offered
to the form on bended knee
cloaked and draped in ebon silk
the eyes glanced up in challenge
and yet within the shadowed pools
the anger hid a sorrow
porcelain fingers gave caress
against the bruised disfigured cheeks
and trailed by tip along horn's arc
accepting without words
and so they met with deference
the angel and the devil
a gesture made from mercy
that began the sinful dance
* * * * *
Picture then, if you will, a tall, angelic figure, wings stretched out and forward, curved, almost as though to shield a shadowy figure kneeling at its feet - one with curving horns and horrible disfigurements. The angel makes a gesture of mercy, touching the devil with compassion, only to have the touch spark something deeper and primal in both.
Who should dominate? Who would submit? And kindly note that no genders are assigned either - yet. I'll take votes for who owns which role, and the genders of each, over the next week and return to take the highest tallies and write further. I may spin into prose or concoct a short story. It will depend entirely on my mood.
All replies are welcome. ;-)
