"Angel"

Post by PinkBalloon » August 2nd, 2013, 10:08 am

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.

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

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.

Beautiful, simple, and sparkling. I can feel the warmth here, that special warmth you always get at the beginning of something special.


I let the sun on my skin.
Pretend I don't burn
I'm not burning here.
I just lay ash
On my eyelids,
And rub it deep into my
Bones.
