In A Field Of Black Winter Roses

by Bryan   Apr 18, 2007


An angel fell from heaven
with no place for her to go,
roaming the streets alone
nobody there she knows.

Sleeping behind a garbage can
praying to god for love,
never feeling it come
from the man who sits above.

In a field of black winter roses
her dreams seem to always be,
a shelter from the rain
and life's hateful miseries.

She has searched for someone
to wipe away all the tears,
someone who will fight
to keep away all her fears.

But no matter where she goes
or how hard she tries,
she just cant seem to
keep out all the lies.

So she sits and waits
for night to bring the sleep,
in a field of black winter roses
her dreams will always keep.

a 5 min. poem.

    WOW awesome poem for such a quickly written one. I tend to write mine quickly as well.

    Personally "knows" and "go" in the first section didnt really work for me but i liked the opening. beautiful imagery for the start.

    Love how you connected the angel with god. makes you wonder more about the angel and why she is there to begin with.

    "She has searched for someone
    to wipe away all the tears,
    someone who will fight
    to keep away all her fears."

    This part really spoke to me. Thats how I feel about my fiance. I LOVE it! well done.

    "But no matter where she goes
    or how hard she tries,
    she just cant seem to
    keep out all the lies."

    I can also agree with that part. I can be really happy and then a little voice inside my head will ruin it by feeding all these lies into my mind.

    The ending was well written and kind of finished the poem but also left it open for a possible second part.

    overall a beautiful poem with some meaningful lines I can really relate to.

    This one is for sure going in my favourite poems section.

    well done
    ^_^

  • It was pretty good... but I don't know, it was slightly.... I don't know I guess it wasn't my style, but I felt like there was something missing. keep writing though,
