My Angel

You taught me my very first steps..

Held my hand and caught me when I fell..

 You were my hope,my inspiration…

The face that love took in my life..

 

In your arms I felt the world was mine..

And I was the reigning queen..

 

In your smile I saw mine resonate..

Your face beheld my universe..

 

With you around I took my leap of faith..

Cause faith required no effort ..

Happiness was mine and that was all you let me know..

 

But then death cast its bloody hand..

And all that shattered in a split second..

Like a distant reverie..

And you couldn’t keep out  the truth and bitterness anymore..

You made living beautiful..

But now the sham stands exposed..

This is the dance with the King....but when death strikes... Everything stops. The deepest question is whether or not we will be able to dance again. The carefree voice turns into fear, wondering at how this could all have been a lie. You end off with that--nothing more or less. I think it shows the depth of betrayal in a new way. Well done :)

This is absolutely beautiful. It's wonderful and I love it.

the best thing about this write is that it could be for anyone .. mother , father , sibling or paramour .. but that doesn't matter cause they are all dear and close to our hearts .. you've quite aptly expressed the thoughts that flood one's mind when the cruel clasps of death snatches away a loved one .. one starts to ponder if the good times will ever come back .. and why did they exist in the first place if this is how it was supposed to end .. but then i guess that's life . intense write !

This is full of emotion and the end is so sad. we all have moments like this in our lives that we get through and overcome. The memories we shall always have to treasure and hold dear.

You are simply amazing me.

Wonderful poem about how we have to lose the ones we love. It is hard to go on without the ones that have been there from the start, the ones who protect us, and the ones that make us feel welcome. But we always have to remember to keep on living, just as they have taught us to live. I like this(:

'Riveting' can't fully review this wonderful poem. You convey the love and admiration so fluently i can actually visualize it. Your words are perfectly weighed and delivered with precision. I LIKE PRECISION. Absolutely more-than-riveting. Good job
