Butterfly Angels

...sending flutterby kisses to my broken angel.

   I light a candle

        in your spirit

                      it shines bright 

                          such as you illuminated life

             Always a brilliant flutterby

         never to be forgotten

            when my thoughts

          turn teary ink blots blue

I think of the butterfly in you

          flitting above pillowed essentia 

                  of dreamful azure clouds

       watching over the ones you love

  I want to believe 

             with all my heart

that angels  are truly 

                butterflies with broken wings

                         fluttering up on high

They come in waves, Oceans foaming,giving life
filling in the gaps of grief
putty on the holes of indifference
the world disperses so freely (no equity but all can share)
and the warm air holds the tear in place
soft in place ,defying gravity, a angel, a word of thanks,
to mother ,to Mary, to Frieda
and I am not talking Kahlo
she is a butterfly too

[Frieda P]

Weird, I just watched a film based on her life not that long ago, thanks lee.

Sometimes I would like the believe that all the good people in the world who ended up dying end up living even happier lives in Heaven...this can lessen the pain...and I'm glad I felt that way while reading this beautiful tribute...R.I.P., your broken angel...

oh a dictionary poem! i love when i have to read a poem with a dictionary by my side it makes me learn new words that i would never of learned before. i love this poem. its structure is amazing

[Lover Of Words]

Well you are offically one of my favorite poets on here!!! this is so beautiful

[Frieda P]

Not sure how I missed this one Kelsey, thanks so much, hope you're having fun! xo

[David Scott]

Your imagery was soft and giving. I enjoyed the visualization. I did not understand why you would want your vision of angels to have "broken wings" though. I would think perfect delicate wings would be the vision, but I am missing something I'm sure.
Loved the read Frieda!

[Frieda P]

ha I think everyone understands my mind, angels with broken wings are those here on earth....that's what we call survivors, or angels with one wing, and we help each other to fly...does that make sense? Either way, I love butterflies, not sure I believe in winged angels but I think I've seen a few in real life...thanks so much David, nice to see you again. x

[David Scott]

I understand the nonliteral interpretation of angle wings. I just think that when these lovely survivors make it to the heavens, there will be nothing broken any longer... Finally we can be the perfect creations we were intended to be. All the more perfect in knowing the imperfection they came from.
I only have love for you dear angle of poetry.
I am still backed off a bit... Trying my hand at some stories.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

my pleasure its the least i can do for some one who touched me so deeply.

[Marie]

This is lovely, Frieda.But I don't think angels have broken wings...though they may indeed come down to earth as butterflies.

[Frieda P]

I think the earthly ones just might, their reason for leaving this place, thanks Marie.
