Present

He fell as dew upon the rose
In a weeded stricture
And heard a chime in somber prose
From a tainted picture.

He found her there, a nameless face
No home to call her own
Then lifted her in love's embrace
And placed her on a throne.

He quieted her worried craze
And gave her burden rest
He woke her from the tired daze
That weighed upon her chest.

He gave her strength to carry on
Gave purpose to her life
He slew her flaws 'till they were gone
To shield her from the strife.

He taught her heart compassion
Together they knew love
Trust was modeled in that fashion
And all the things thereof.

He did all this and so much more
An angel in true style
A heavenly pair of wings he wore
With an angelic smile.

This was the second installment of a set of 3 poems, Past, Present and Future, that I wrote last Christmas for my love. I posted Past last year, and you can see it under my old name, Angelpoet87, and I will post Future at a later time. So for now, I hope you enjoy! (And yes, yes, I know, sappy sappy love poems, yuck!)

I really enjoyed myself while I was reading this. Great work...I think my favorite lines are,
"He quieted her worried craze
And gave her burden rest
He woke her from the tired daze
That weighed upon her chest."
Very beautiful

It's not sappy, It's beautiful! I truly am inspired by it, and I love it!

*sniff* *sniff* Beauatiful.... just... Beuatiful! *sheds tears of joy* LOL

This was a WONDERFUL poem. And don't trash the sappy love poems... I write them too! I agree with one thing, though, you DO have talent! I read Past once upon a time, and I can't wait to read future! Peace!
