Angel Of My Heart

My heart was the one you stole,

Rummaged and burned like charcoal

Was the night's pelage lingering its mourn,

The illusion, not reality torn

Yet a segment grasped my breath,

I was crowned and deforested of my wreath

All in the one night



Night, ô night, ô pleasuring night,

Embracing, thou song was the sight

You bring me blissful awe,

Tranquil was my vision's saw

Shifted unwarily was its fate,

Languishing was Heaven's gate

Crumbled to the bone



Love, ô love, ô shattering love,

Allow my inner fury's shove

For thy life is short to be aghast,

The symptoms of purity, not last

Crimson is the blood thou must wear,

Signifying the mistakes without care

Dauntless was the angel of my heart



Was. Not is. Was.

Author's Note

What do this represent to you? To me it outlines my atheist beliefs but to others it will have another meaning? Please tell me, I'd be keen on knowing.

Beautifully done :) I love how you weaved this poem together. For me I believe the meaning, based on my point of view is that someone either you or the person's point of view in this poem lost a loved one (now an angel) that affect you or "him/her" deeply. But after reading the note, I also see the story or belief of angels (your atheist belief)

Thank you. Atheist belief is actually the disbelief of angels and god as such. Hence the last line, "Dauntless was the angel of my heart, Was. Not is. Was." It represents how people can change their views on such topics.

I agree :) I have aeteist friends whose family are really religious but in general have their other beliefs, it really depends on the person :)

So beautifully written. I really like this, you're a brilliant writer. I would never of guessed this was about atheist beliefs, but still it's brilliant :)
