I caught a vision

I caught a vision

A Poem by Mark D

Once guarded in her wings
In my spring of youth
I fled those shields
Too full of youth and vanity

I treated foe like friend
Tears though the day
And tears through the night
I feared I’d left an angel

In my poisonous solace
My tall black quarters
My lonely haunt
I caught a vision 

My jewelled grave
And my angel standing over me
Smiling at me still
As I felt her hand on mine

She spoke as sweetly as I remembered
And told me why she had come
Not to ignite my dim and dying love
But to help me into my coffin

Hauntingly beautiful and melancholy, my favorite kind of write. It is always a difficult thing to face when we realize that we did not let love slip through our fingers but that is was always meant to be out of our reach. Very nicely done, my friend.

This is really good, the beginning is kind of slow at first but once you get into you can tell the message and i really like what you did in this one.

This is very pleasant and melodious, I find the subject matter and the lyricism both appeal to me. It's romantic with a sprinkle of existentialism, very nice tone.
