Angel Prayer

by craig   Feb 23, 2004


The clouds graceful glide,
inspires me to write,
a rainbows limpid arc,
lends my pen a spark,
but when describing thee,
creativity flees.

Your soulful love of life,
your sleeping face at night,
your alluring, lithe-like walk,
your enchanting pillow talk,
the playful way you smiled,
left my senses rapt, beguiled.

The wetness of your kiss,
my senses numbed, bewitched,
the smoothness of your breast,
I trembled, breathless,
the way you felt inside,
has never left my mind.

The swiftness of your death,
the silence of your breath,
the limpness of your grip,
the coldness of your lips,
your smashed disfigured face,
no memory has replaced.

That well thumbed photograph,
thats captured you mid-laugh,
our old engagement ring,
(the heartache that it brings!),
your unfinished poetry,
are all thats left of thee.

    i like the way you use things of everyday in your poems, especially the line "that well thumbed photograph that captured you mid-laugh." brings a certain realism to it all, making it more personal.

    oh, thank you for your comments! never realised how powerful that line was. you're really sharp - that last verse, it's my head thinking, not the heart...
