Angel A inspired tragic narrative poem that came to me in a dream. 0.o What is an angel essentially Is actually a human being Is it bright as it glows in the sky With large white wings billowing by If it were a person who would it be Everyone whom death would meet The sinless standing on a pillar of light While the damned writhe in pits black as night And what of those here on earth Who have the job to watch over us from birth And the people as beautiful as such That are pure and glow with radiant joy Sleeping with dreams filled with baby girls and boys These thoughts come up every time I glance into the most beautiful persons eyes And when she looks back at me I truly believe I actually see Her white billowing wings spread out as if they are calling me This girl I speak of the one in my ninth grade class She is the only girl who holds my heart in a glass I’ve fallen in love with one of god’s angels Who new love could be this painful When she walked up to me today and whispered in my ear “You are the one my heart holds dear” When she said this, to God I was thankful I actually fell to my knees and cried Tears fell from my eyes and I didn’t know why In the middle of the hallway with my angel But what really made my heart melt Was when she knelt down and wrapped me in her arms In a loving embrace that seemed to last forever And kissed me while I cried The hallway faded away leaving us in an isolated place My heart full to the brim with a deep affection This moment, more perfect than perfection More indescribable, More undeniable than anything in the world No more being, no more mind, no more body Only me and her existing in harmony Living entities wrapped in the bonds of love When the teachers came and took us away She looked at me and I looked at her And we both spoke the heartfelt words I love you In truth, I didn’t know she felt this way These emotions usually kept secret bloomed this day And in every way possible, we fell in love Many years past and we both aged We’ve gotten even closer over the years with our love unphased So much that we would give our lives for each other if the time came But one rainy night my love was driving outside Coming home with a gift for her lover Lightning flickered across the sky As I waited inside for my beloved wife A few minutes later that’s when it happened My beating heart cracked and I bent over gasping The fear started coursing through my body As I put on some shoes and went outside The rain pouring down reflecting the light of the night sky I ran down the road ignoring the traffic speeding by 1 mile, 5 miles, 10 miles My clothes torn and battered drenched in rain that was still pouring The light up ahead started increasing my dread I followed the lights and the people’s cries Tripping, stumbling, hoping that what I see is just a dream I see a car flipped on its side and a truck torn to shreds by the crash I look around searching the ground for the one I hoped would not be found I looked up the road and saw that a figure laid there. The figure of the woman I loved At that instant my dreading heart shattered As I ran using all of my power to the body of my wife I held her body in my arms And instantly knew that she was gone Here skin was pale and sucked up life I ached so much I thought of ending my own life I embraced her as I cried and kissed her lips Remembering the passion of our first kiss I looked straight up into the sky The rain was pouring down our sides As if the sky cried with me I looked at her clenched fist and saw that something was in it I heartbreakingly took it from her hand And what I saw made me cry harder then It was a heart locket with a picture of her smiling inside it The ambulance came and took my love away The rain now small rays of light as the sun crept up from the dreary night And as I walked back home turning down offers for a ride I saw a small feather fall from the sky I caught the feather in my hand And I felt my-self start to cry again But these tears weren’t of sorrow They were the same tears of shock and joy from my ninth grade year When I thought about it, it seemed like a fable The one I loved had truly become an Angel forgotten memories begining to form, morphed and shaped they shatter only to be reborn and repieced |

Wow, this is a dream of a lifetime. It must have taken you all night to get through it. I got a little lost in the middle and I wasn't sure if you were the lover or the father, I think the words 'coming home with a gift for her lover' led to the confusion. Cheers Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
