Angel Of Sorrow

A poem about and old ghost that has recently come back to haunt me.

 Not the size of your bosom, what lured me in

But the warmth of a soul, and the touch of two hands

Beauty like gems, fresh from the Earth

Years of torment, is what was endured

A friend like that, is one in ten thousand

A friend that pulls with you, through every transition

Some call it ignorance, some call it devotion

The one this is meant for, is oblivious to the notion

My Angel Of Sorrow, with your black feathered wings

Your presence is needed, my sanity you keep

Frozen over, by the bitterness of a heart

My burning spirit, will thaw it apart

You soar through the sky ,so very far from home

Caught in a web, one of your own

With those wings of umbra, you swoop down so fast

Covering my soul, the depression unpassed

Bind me with your feathers, speak into my ears

Your voice like a ghost, ethereal but so near

As we spiral into madness, one final thought

Leave me be, my angel of sorrow, 

There is no reconciliation for your sins

Author's Note

Her wings are so beautiful. But her heart is as cold as ice.

"You soar through the sky ,so very far from home
Caught in an web, one of your own"
I like the lines above. Many strong lines in the poem. A beautiful woman can be dangerous. Woman with goals beside love and kindness. Need to be kept at a safe distance. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.

Yes, you always fall in love with the image you came to know, not the one that shattered over time. Though there is no changing her mind, your love will always burn for her no matter how far apart the two of you have grown. It's saddening really. But from darkness comes beauty, and thus, beauty unto darkness. One cannot exist without the other, both of them must coexist side-by-side. Thus a harsh reality we live in. Thus a darkened landscape. The tides of the soul grow ever softer with each repetition. Let people be as they are, attempting to interfere will only result in utter annihilation.
