Angel Without Wings

Angel Without Wings

A Poem by Legion
"

Got the idea for this from a broken trophy I saw back in high school.

"

Angel Without Wings

 

 

Halo held in hand,
Losing luster.

Tears tumbling down,
Mirrored motions.

Sad, sullen eyes,
Gazing groundward.

Head hanging heavily,
Sighing silently.

Soiled, stained robes,
Fumbling forever.

Angel without wings
All Glory Gone.

 

 

Legion

If I ever wrote this good, capturing the essence, the scale, the defining grace, the beauty of the pinnicle moment coming to life, scripted with a fine tack that resonates pure passion given, rendered, relinquished
by the hand of a true artist, I would be a happy man jim, this is stunning and I thoroughly felt my heart
ache for the moment that such an angel should live on and on, whose smile, whose beauty and love has
faded like the halo, and robe you so masterfully scribed, you've delivered with ease, without restriction

What are you talking about 'alliteration overload'? This is great! You've subtracted the unnecessary verbage leaving in the adjectives without losing quality or meaning of the piece. I love writing like this. Again, you show a skill for imagery. Nice work L.

That's..
So sad...

I can't imagine the trauma of such a sight...

*sighs*

*Attempts to perk up*
Keep up the good work, Monsieur!
