Angela

We can fall so low and deep. Need someone to pull us up to see daylight.

            Angela

 
Her beauty had lessen with time.
The circle of darkness surrounded her beautiful blue eyes.
Lack of sleep and proper diet.
Left her beaten, betrayed and dreams limited to daily survival.
In her 21 years of life.


Her blue eyes brought me to her.
Her long legs that went on for miles.
Were still temptation for the soul wanting too little now.

 
Her fearless eyes turn soft as she tremble in the face of tenderness.
I told her please please stay with me. We will have no secrets.

 
"I have been living on borrow kisses, loan embraces and leased love.
I whisper I have been waiting for you."

 
"We have nothing to lose.
All we have is painful and harsh desires that brought us together."

 
Sweet Angela looked into my eyes.
Searching.


She told me "I'm dirty with sin.
I have abandon all who have tried to love me.
I don't deserve you."
Her hand held my hand so tightly as she spoke.

 
I whispered " My fallen Angel.
There are few saints anyway.
I will take you places you have never been.
We will walk on long beaches.
Drink wine and talk till the sun falls into the sea.
I will hold you like you were my first love."

 
When the dusk came.
We ate  and talked.
Felled on my soft bed.
I told her "All we have is the desire of pleasure left.
I will find your secret softness. Make you feel wanted and alive.

 
I  whispered a liar prayer.
Told her how beautiful and wonderful she was.
 I  explored her with delight and discover all her  hidden secrets.

 
I looked into  her blue eyes as her slender body move over my flesh.
 A small tear appeared in her eyes.
She whispered  "I will leave before the morning light."

 
I smile and caressed her beautiful face.
Whispered " We have lost nothing.
I just wanted to see your smile and hear your voice."

 
"I will be here when you need me."
Angela kissed me and lays her head into my chest.

When we fall down so low. Someone must pull us back and show us the way to peace and happiness again.

Sometimes in life you fall and sometimes you are just lucky enough to have that special someone who helps you along. I loved the lines:
"I have been living on borrow kisses, loan embraces and leased love.
I whisper I have been waiting for you."
Beautifully written. Loved it.

and I think back to all the times in my life I felt so ugly, and wished someone would lie to me and tell me I'm still beautiful. A very wise philosopher said, "our purpose on this earth is to love and be loved, and this includes the moments we are unlovable". This is powerful and true, Coyote, and brought tears to my eyes, to see your Angel's inner beauty through your own caring eyes.

To start things off, this is a gorgeous poem. I love how the woman is described in the begninning, making her seem fradgile and tired even at the age of 21. The line "She tells me I'm dirty with sin." really jumped out at me, it is just so beautifully crafted like the entire poem! I just adore this poem, it's so emotional and heart wrenching. But, in a good way!

I really like the way you have structured the poem and the subtle warm feeling throughout.I could feel the want of what was coming in the end and the end delivers it beautifully.Splendid Job.This will go into my favourites.

[Lucy Joan]

Agree, there will always be a special someone to hold us back or encourage us through anything. No matter what happens, their care and love will last longer than the pain. Great poem.

very wise words

Beautifully done, CP ... I love the soft, tender flow of heartache that Angela faces but in the end, there's someone who will always be there for her spiritually & emotionally. Loved the subtle imagery throughout...

So true... and so kind of those who reach out of pull us lost souls back to the surface when we're almost out of breath and then nudge us towards a sunnier path in hopes the exploration will give new meaning to our life.

Fine Write, sorry it took so long for me to read!! Thanks for sharing it with me.
