(66) Angel In shadows

Collaboration with Chris Smith and Devil's Angel

I feel her reaching out to me

Embracing the sorrow in my soul

The pain that keeps me prisoner

My Angel is behind me now

Her wings comforting this darkness

 

I feel her reaching out to me

Releasing my stored up anger

Hate that prevents me from living

Taking her hand to my heart

Her touch transforming this vileness

 

She knows these feelings well

For she dwells in the shadows

This Angel takes away my nightmares

Absorbing the agony that I feel

Leaving me feeling her gift

I feel she was always here

All I had to do was see

From the heavens she was sent

To relight my inner soul

Waiting for me to be ready

Author's Note

We both enjoyed writing this.

[FJ Davis]

An angel who dwells in the shadows and feeds on human agony. Such a being would be beloved for taking the pain away. But, should the human subject discover that the being is also causing much of his or her distress--and react rebelliously--then, of course, there would literally be hell to pay.
But that will probably be dealt with in the next collaboration.
This is an eeriely haunting poem; too real not to be frightening.

A beautiful and hopeful poem. We need Angels to keep us on track and in the right direction. I like the story and the strong ending. A excellent poem. Thank you.

[Murtuza]

A really good poem.
The angel is symbolic of being saved. So there is always comfort in our minds that the angel will take our pains away.
