Is it ok,
if I dont feel today
my Angel left
and took my smile with her.

I watched as she took flight
wings beating gently in the autum dusk,
and though I stood beside her all along
I was never hers
and she was never mine.

She said goodbye
with a kiss and glittering breathe,
she stroked my cheek
leant close to my ear
and told me my secret,
finally.

I cried like a child,
sobbing hard with gratitude,
and she sang
to sooth my tears.

One last time
she let me look into her eyes
and see the past we had
the present we lost
and the future we could never carry home with us.

Her farewell made my garden turn
all the shades of sadness,
made my trees weep
and their branches could nearly touch the ground.

She let me touch her wings,
and feel the beauty an Angel always gives,
selflessly,
purity,
and I was altered by her.


At last,
my Angel took to the amber sky
and one small hand waved farewells
which fell on me as silverblue
which fell on me as things to do

Is it ok,
if I dont feel today
my Angel left
and took reality away.

Fool~
With this tender render from your pen
you have kissed an angel goodbye.
Sometimes we just have to be thankful
that we were touched by an angel,
if only for a little while.

Beautifully done.

Deeply sad words, but woven in an exquisite form.  Lovely work!

Too often are angels kissed goodbye
It seems unavoidable
No matter how hard we try.

Too rarely are words woven like that of your poem
Touching all who read it
Hitting some close to home.

This poem took my breath away!! So beautiful and full of emotion. Your angel will always be with you inside your heart...I know mine is!

Love and hugs,

Lovely, what else can I say? I think that your angel will return to you someday, even if she wasn't truly yours to begin with.
