Portrait of an Angel

Portraying a portrait 

of an angel with no wings

I sit and ponder of life and things

beautiful is this angels tear

for even with no wings

an angel shows no fear

the portrait is complete

the showing is drawing near

the portrait of a wingless angel 

with one beautiful tear

the curtain is drawn

the audience gasps

for this portrait is of an angel

with the devil in it's clasp

A flawless human is nothing more than a statue carved from grey stone! How wonderful to think of a poet who sees and feels the beauty of and in imperfection! Love it, thank you for pressing home the truth.

A beautiful write and message of the character of an angel. Lovely depth of feeling. Good word choice and use of repetition for emphasis on the power of and inner beauty of an angel. Thank you for sharing it.

Ah so beautiful. This reminded me of so much of my angle.
My angel has a name. Her name is Sarah.

Intense beauty here, by my twin beauty writer, wow... I feel the emptiness, and the strength in your words, not being afraid to be taken, to face the darker sides of life. I found this really refreshing. For nobody is perfect, and it would be scary if one was...
