Sonnet for an Angel

Here's a link to my you tube channel where I read from my book, Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems.

If not for you, where would I be today?
Most likely dead or on some distant shore.
Your love does not drift like the ocean waves.
It stays close to my heart; I can't ask for more.
Your skin, so soft, like velvet on my tongue.
Your orchid, sublime, responds to every kiss.
To my ears, your heart beats like a song.
If we never met my life would be amiss.
But now we build the future bold and brave.
There is no fear when I am in your arms.
The booze is gone and I'm no longer a slave.
My soul is not in a state of alarm.
Your breath is like the wind on a barren land.
I swear to you I'll always be your man.

I agree Thomas. Love can save us.
"The booze is gone and I'm no longer a slave.
My soul is not in a state of alarm."
I do understand the above lines. I was saved once. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Thank you so much.

Sometimes angels do appear to help those in desperate straits, only they're not of the type you see during the Christmas holidays. They are flesh and blood human beings who know who and how to help.

This is so sweet. The poem is cute and full of love. And, yes love can heal, be the balm and all that we need. Nothing like it. This is great piece of work. Thanks for writing and sharing, Thomas.

Your words say it all, Thomas. No pretence or poetic make-believe, havoc or trend here. Only gentle, honest and unselfish feelings. 'Your love does not drift like the ocean waves.'
