Wounded Angel

  Wounded Angel


 My sad  friend.
Please smile for me.
Stay with me by the sea all night.


Your world has fell apart.
You don't know right from wrong.
Desperate acts had left you feeling
dirty and insulated from everyone.


Please take my hand.

Walk with a man who swims in s**t most
of his life.


Ain't no real Angels on this Earth.
Only us struggling to make amends.


We all must do things we are ashamed of.
World isn't clean anymore.
Not enough helping hands.


Ain't no pity for the people in plight today.
I know we get fatigue and humiliated to
believing we are worthless and destitute.


Broken Angel.
Please take my hand.
Walk with a contaminated man.
Jaded kisses and broken promises had
left me empty.
The not so sweet taste of life has turn me bitter.


The sad woman whisper.
"I'm a dumping ground for men
who want to use and abuse.
I don't mean much to no-one."


I  touch her face.
I tell her.
"We must ascend from the malingering hell.
Leave the one's who want you to beg for mercy."


"Ain't no easy road.
Sometime we must get up.
Tell the world to back away."


"Find a better path to be on.
Kinder  and better people."


Please my broken Angel walk with me.
Take my hand.
The new day is rising from the East.

Author's Note

A old poem. I would appreciate any help. Never too old to learn.

This is so amazingly powerful.. it is ragged, it is real and it is raw... When a man says it, like it is, it should come across as true... When a man is a poet, there should be no need to shout.. When a good man is a great poet, people listen and have no doubt... here is a good example that just goes to prove my point.... AGT's ...Neville

There are many broken angels in this world, and as long as we are alive a new sun will rise in the morning giving us another chance. These are words of hope.

this was good, very interesting. Makes a person think a little

[Forgotten]

hanks for the comment on mine, this is a beautiful poem, may i ask where did you get your inspiration for this piece?

[Robert]

the only thing that i found disaproveing of was some of the subject matter. some of the stanzas sound a little whiny and dont really fit with the rest of the poems feel. sometimes its really hard to get those feeling to come out right, but i always think you can do way better then whining. everything else about it i do like however, it deffintly is interesting and some what your own.

[JelliFyshKissUs]

Written with such bleak beauty. There is a compassionate pity in these stanza's for others. Hidden under the veil of despondency, but it is there. And I loved every occasion it peeked its head out from under those covers and whispered sympathy.

[ORBLE]

I really love your writes, and this one is no different! Amazing.
I particularly liked:
"Ain't no easy road.
Sometime we must get up.
Tell the world to back away."

Because it's so true and everyone can relate to this. Thanks again for another brilliant poem,

Reminds me when I was a kid. Not that long ago...

[Flo]

I always wonder why I never read your poetry so often. It's really beautiful and has a sense of..serenity. Good Job.

I saw and felt your Broken Angel. I particularly loved the line "jaded kisses and broken promises had left me empty." So true. Beautiful work! Love it!

Always interesting ain't it? How many poems there are about angels. Or how many times they're mentioned in a writing...I mean I do it. More than I would a vampire or werewolf. But I'm always impressed with your writing. It's really amazing! And I think, I know it defiantly should be published! Nice job!
