“GENTLEST ANGEL”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
Never knew that a guardian,
could be that caring…
Speaking those soft words,
which stopped the bleeding…

Tenderness is her heart,
which she carries inside…
Mine was torn with sadness,
all of the tears it cried…

She gave me her comfort,
to touch me if she could…
Wanting to heal a broken soul,
my desire was if she would…

If I were with her to embrace,
my warmth is hers tonight…
The gentlest angel that I know,
I would love her into the light…

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

A soft and feel good kind of poem Bill, I really enjoyed this.  You have a very gentle way of writing--  she is a lucky girl.

Bob darling heart, you don’t know how glad I am to see a poem by you, and this is particularly fine. I would temporise and say this is going to be a short reply, but it probably won’t be, simply because I can’t do them. Well, I can, but I always feel I’m short-changing the writer and I never wish to short-change you. (Besides which darling heart YOU know if I said short it wouldn’t be)

This is stunning writing, so incredibly real, so totally in the present. There are those who write in beautiful flowing script describe poetic wonder, and they are good, I don’t deny that they are. But you combine an element of being there, the immediacy of the now, and there are so few writers who can do that with conviction. And you do time after time after time. Truly this is superb and I love it utterly utterly utterly love it. (Oh look it’s an almost brief reply,) well, almost is good.  

This is fabulous and you know I love it don’t you? Mmmm I do indeed, very much


Love and warm stuff
as always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Your artistic touch is showing.. .again!
