Winged Illusions

A vision of an angel came to me,

In beautiful and radiating light…

My eyes, illuminated by the sight;

A creature of this world, he couldn’t be.

With voice as thunderous as raging sea,

And feathered wings, awash in snowy white...

He spoke of joy and pleasures infinite,

And happiness through all eternity.

Oh, how the angel did disguise intent,

Striking me down at my most unaware…

Foolishly, I believed love's proclaimant,

Foolishly, I believed that he did care.

And now, I sit in winter's discontent,

Frozen by consequence of human err.

This was amazing! I loved the twist at the end and it is true that some people are devils that disguise themselves as angels. They drag you in with empty promises and lure you in with those soft, loving eyes, and then as soon as they know that you are in their grip they tighten the reins and suffocate you until you are no more. I can relate to this poem and connect to it very well. This was beautiful and I am so glad that I read it and check out your page! Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you so much for your kind review! Yes, unfortunately, too many people experience relationships like this. When it happens, we just have to move on, with the recognition that we deserve, and eventually will find, better. Thanks for the friend request and I will be sure to stop by your page as well!
