Feathers Fell

by Twisted Heart   Sep 22, 2007


The night has captured her restless heart
Broke free and full of pain
Against the crash of shattered parts
Dead dreams are what remain.
A fool, in love, she choose her fate
Refusing words of lies
Wisdom came, but way too late
Alone she sits and cries.

Tattered wings in soot of feather down
Singed edges from the spark
Her halo crooked on her crown
Black glass... her fading heart.
Twist pangs of hunger slowly call
Against the silken soul
Dark down of feathers silent fall
Inside the night so cold

No rescue from the death of dreams
As breath inside her breaks
The feather's fall from Angel wings
As her heart falls from grace.
Tend needless pain inside the roar
Mere mortal in her fear
A broken shell forever more
As Angels wipe her tears

Dark skies now open to the rain
In hopes to cleanse her mortal pain
Angels cried... as the rain poured
Feathers fell... They'll fall no more.

    "A fool, in love, she choose her fate
    Refusing words of lies
    Wisdom came, but way too late
    Alone she sits and cries."

    just that one stanza brings the point of the entire poem...your form was really unique and was very effective, keep it up

    The flow in this was amazing. Everything was just perfect. I could imagine everything that was being spoken about.
