"Angel"
I found myself kneeling between
a simple wish and a gentle daydream.
He was hanging from seven rows of fairy lights:
A single soul dipped in the beauty of the night.
Like a floating lantern above a dark road,
he was shining with all the stars that heaven could hold.
An angel with his feet on the ground.
I was lost for words but finally found.
a simple wish and a gentle daydream.

hello and welcome to The Poet Sanctuary! It is very nice to meet you. This is the first poem of yours I've read and I must tell you, I found it delightful! Such wonderful imagery! I liked these lines best:
Like a floating lantern above a dark road,
he was shining with all the stars that heaven could hold.
always, Cat

Re: "Angel"
The rhyming really enables the reader to be engrossed easily and the word choice and imagery is top notch. Great piece 5/5.

Nice (w)rite PB. Beautiful, it brings forth compelling passion in its truest form.

Re: "Angel"
Beautiful, simple, and sparkling. I can feel the warmth here, that special warmth you always get at the beginning of something special.
Pretend I don't burn
I'm not burning here.
I just lay ash
On my eyelids,
And rub it deep into my
Bones.
