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.

Author's Note

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.

"I have been living on borrow kisses, loan embraces and leased love."

This is my favorite line. It seems to capture it all with so few words. All of your work is filled with much wisdom, honesty, truth of heart. Never do I fail to feel your poems in my heart. This one is no different. Magnificent.

Amazing poem. Like many other's my favorite lines being "I have been living on borrow kisses, loan embraces and leased love.
I whisper I have been waiting for you."
I think were all out there searching, infact I find myself jealous of other people who seem to have fallen inlove so easily & hold on to it.

[Suicidal Cupid]

that was brilliant.

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


Perhaps, lending metaphors to love, as a commodity, an asset, is your first mistake.
It is a gift.
If you experience love, you live on the grace of God, having granted you Eden, in our sinful world.

Be grateful.
Love exists for those who are humble enough to recieve the will of God.

[Taylor H.]

I loved the imagery. This was a fantastic poem.

[Lena M. P.]

Sometimes it take another lost soul to reach out to us. Together we can find a peace and tenderness that we have so lacked and yet craved. People walk through I lives with a purpose whether it be for a day or for years. Nicely written piece.

[TamiViolet]

Great story with remarkable images. You really pulled me in with the first stanza...quite the tear-jerker...

'I will find your secret softness'.... nice...

It's sure a wonderful feeling to be picked up when we're at our lowest. Angela was lucky to discover you during that moment in time...

[VioletRose]

I Loved the poem...

[Stephen Scaggs]

Dear Mr. Coyote,

Although I am not a fan of Eroticism, even at the light expense of that which is mentioned in here; you keep my attention. Mainly in the first few lines where you introduce Angela. Those tired eyes that have given up, those heavy arms when we've worked hard, the numerous times our conscious screams to our mind "Give up." Truly captivating message here. 8/10

Everybody needs proof they can be loved. What's this world without it?

Good stuff - you have some very memorable lines throughout this poem that will stick in my mind for a while. Thanks for sharing.
