Lost Angel

About a lost Angel that wants to go home

If tears were diamonds
I'd be a rich man
My eyes are the window to my soul
but no one knows I even exist
I was happy once
Now I'm just here
A lost generation
My wine has lost its taste
And with every sip a metallic
Taste is left on my lips
Grains of sand fall from my hands
From digging my way out of this grave
I have lost my way
but no one is there to find me
Are we really here
Do we really have free will
People don't believe in us anymore
What does love mean
I want to experience it for once in my life
I want to walk hand in hand in to the sunset
I want to kiss soft lips
I want to watch sad movies
And hold you when you cry
I spend all my time waiting
I need a distraction
Where do I go from here�

Hi Kelley :-) You never know, we may have been put here 5 minutes ago...with a memory!
I loved this piece of yours hon and the wish you have for true love to not just visit, but to stay. I think we all feel that way, I also believe that we are sent love from above...and when it comes we need to recognize it for the blessing that it is. So many go through life ignoring signs, such a waste...even for angels!
I sincerely hope that everyone's love will find them...SOON!!! Beautiful work...*hugs*
(Say a big hi to Tawny for me would you?)

Kelley,

This is an Incredible piece of poetic pain, my friend. One I can relate to in it's entirety. Excellent questions you bring up... "Do we really have free will?" No, not exactly. But yes, we do at the same time. Are you willing to pay the price for that amount of freedom... ? It is heavy, and very much taxing on the soul. For pain is what free will entails. It is not the glamor of Hollywood's portrayal. Much loneliness, much soul searching that comes with it... I feel your want in this piece, with my soul I feel it. I have felt these things, and do know the sting it administers. The sour bitterness left upon the tongue. And then there is the final question of, 'Where do I go from here?'. Forward, my friend. Always, no other direction but forward...
Outstanding piece of Magnificent Excellence. Never let your pen leave your Talented hand, Kelley. It is a great friend, indeed.

This piece is sad. So much wandering and searching and yet there seems to be nothing for the effort. I love the way you play words off of each other without there being any real effort. The comparison of tears and dimonds was perfect, my favorite portion of the piece.
There seems to be this underlying thought though that this isn't just one man speaking for himself. There is a hnt in this that the world in general is lost on a romantic level. That we have goten to a point where we don't know how to be or we don't care to be romantic with a partner. That we are here for the moment, for that quick bit of gratification and the art form of the relationship has been lost.
However you look at this it is a good piece.

"If tears were diamonds/I'd be a rich man" I loved that comparison; grabbed my attention and made me keep reading!
I read it once and loved it. Read it again, and the line "Now I'm just here/A lost generation" made me stop and think about what you were saying.
Beautiful, Emotional, and deep.
Though I haven't gotten to read much of your writing, I've loved everything I have read so far!

[Winter McPherson]

Love the picture. Very nicely done. Yes, I do believe in them still and I believe they take care of me under the watchful eye of my Heavenly Father. But you're right.....a lot of people don't believe in them anymore. This was a unique perspective on an angel. Creative.
