Crimson sealed against the white
Upon the patterned lace
That lay along an angel's wings
And marred a lovely face.

She lay there cold, a dying form
That faded over time
A single beast, a naked ruin
A proof of wasted crime.

The wounds that bled, a golden shield
That kept her body warm
From silent death, a lulling song
A souless cold transformed.

A flight, a breath, a single beat
A heart that slowly folds
A light, a breath, a flowing tear...

A story never told.

Hehehe...sorry if it was raw...or if it was too much. I'll understand if it's taken out of the forums. I just wanted to write something a little different. Enjoy at your leisure! ^_^

Wow, Chasing Rain.  Lovely to see something more from you.
This was very dark and well written.  The format of it is good for dark poetry.  I really like your writing!
I especially liked revival of the word "form" in the word "transform" in a later stanza.  Whether that was intentional or not, it was really neat...

Absolute sugoiness!  This was a wonderful write, Leah-chan.  And that is all I really have to say about this poem coz otherwise I'd ramble and give everyone a headache and, given the time of evening which I'm writing this, that would not be a good thing. ^_^  Thankies for the read!  Really enjoyed it!

... ... Bah!  I can't post a short post. x_x;  It's a curse, I tell you, it's a curse!  Short posts aren't really in my books, and so, hence, you will have to deal with a really long post.  Although... not really "really" long because I'm tired and need to go to sleep but... o.o;  Anyhow.

*two thumbs up*  ^^  For some reason, my favorite was the way the ending broke off of the last stanza.  It just seemed really really stylistically perfect-working to have it function that way. ^_^  And the rhymes gave the poem a rhythm which was interrupted by the line break, which made it seem all the better placed. ^_^v

I thought the flow was excellent... the rhymes gave the poem a definitive beat and rhythm to it... but the sophistication of the images that you painted and the sugoiness of the echo that you had made the poem more pretty than lame. ^_^  There's a cute innocent charm to it all the while, which gives the poem even more stars in the bonus points book. ^_^

This ish easily one of the favorite reads of this evening so far... thank you muchlies for the high-caliber, absolutely stunning, really really awe-inspiring work that you have here. ^_^v  Ooh, and the world isn't yours.  ISH MINE!!!  *evil cackles*  Anyhows... ja matta ne!

Leah, truth be told, you, along with Jeff, are two of the most wonderful poets I've ever seen. Your work is simply beautiful, true art. I adore this poem, very well written. It better not be taken out of the forum, hehe, that would be a loss. Great write, I look forward to reading more soon. Take care.

Wowsers Leah. Really out there, very awe-inspiring....very...you.  
You've done another wonderful job with this. The rhyme is spot on and the images are bloody great!

Fave lines..ummm....these:
"The wounds that bled, a golden shield
That kept her body warm
From silent death, a lulling song
A souless cold transformed."

It chilled me to read this so that is nothing but good.
Well done once again.

"A flight, a breath, a single beat
A heart that slowly folds
A light, a breath, a flowing tear..."

This is beautiful.  The meter of the piece is fantastic.  The way the rhyme scheme is formed, the internal rhyme makes for a beat on its own.
The wording used throughout the poem, every pause, every comma, was wonderfully placed, and the dramatic pause before the last line was perfect.
Very well done, Leah.  I don't know if you are peeking in PIP every now and then to read the replies to your poems, but if you catch this one, know that I miss you!
I hope to talk to you soon.
Simply beautiful.
