Wounded Angel

  Wounded Angel


 My sad  friend.
Please smile for me.
Stay with me by the sea all night.


Your world has fell apart.
You don't know right from wrong.
Desperate acts had left you feeling
dirty and insulated from everyone.


Please take my hand.

Walk with a man who swims in s**t most
of his life.


Ain't no real Angels on this Earth.
Only us struggling to make amends.


We all must do things we are ashamed of.
World isn't clean anymore.
Not enough helping hands.


Ain't no pity for the people in plight today.
I know we get fatigue and humiliated to
believing we are worthless and destitute.


Broken Angel.
Please take my hand.
Walk with a contaminated man.
Jaded kisses and broken promises had
left me empty.
The not so sweet taste of life has turn me bitter.


The sad woman whisper.
"I'm a dumping ground for men
who want to use and abuse.
I don't mean much to no-one."


I  touch her face.
I tell her.
"We must ascend from the malingering hell.
Leave the one's who want you to beg for mercy."


"Ain't no easy road.
Sometime we must get up.
Tell the world to back away."


"Find a better path to be on.
Kinder  and better people."


Please my broken Angel walk with me.
Take my hand.
The new day is rising from the East.

A old poem. I would appreciate any help. Never too old to learn.

This is so amazingly powerful.. it is ragged, it is real and it is raw... When a man says it, like it is, it should come across as true... When a man is a poet, there should be no need to shout.. When a good man is a great poet, people listen and have no doubt... here is a good example that just goes to prove my point.... AGT's ...Neville

Tragic and unforgettable... I'm sure many have been down this road, hopefully they will find peace. Your writing is so realistic, Coyote, and I enjoy everything I read because you create moods that arouse an array of feelings in the reader....

[Moonflower]

This was very different from your other works that I have read and I have to say that I really enjoyed it, this certain hopelessness...but then again a slight feeling of optimism, Wonderful work, here.

A lasting tribute to everyone today. My favorite lines are
World isn't clean anymore.
Not enough helping hands.

[Magdelena]

I so love how you took this and made it into two forms of meanings. Depending on the reader, it holds images that blow the mind away. Improvement? Hell, on this? There is not a thing I would change. It tells a story and one that knocked my socks off. Wow!

Gentle with a hint of melancholy,yet there is always this hope of goodness which can not be perished which is the underlying belief here..
