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.

Author's Note

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

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Neville. You are very kind to me my friend.

[Neville]

I dig your attitude, style and originality, always have my friend and true N

[Star Wolf]

This is very tragic yet very hopeful. We've all, I think, been at the bottom and your words here are just want we need to pull ourselves out before we let ourselves die one way or the other. Awesome write!

Nice poem Coyote,
We all have our ups and downs, bad and good
Been there done that kinda thing,
Very good poem, thanks for sharing,
I only seen a few grammar issues but other than that sounds great

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Our own personal failures are not only a lesson for oneself but can be a gift when we use them reach out and help a loved one... so much compassion within your words.

[Allison]

I love this! It's really good! I love the way you describe how you feel about the world. There are a few grammar issues, but good write!

[The Analog Kid]

This is an old gem, Coyote. Real life and some really good word choices and phrasing.

[RJM]

Nothing to say, nothing to comment on. Simply amazing! There are no angels on earth but us and things we want to do.

[Neisha Ann]

There's so much truth pouring out of this. People can read this and get something out of it, learn something from it. Awesome job.


*God bless*

[HopelesslyDevoted]

[Ed Hart]

[Lovely Lady]

I dont know what improvement I can offer... it is perfect... I want to hold your hand
"Ain't no real Angels on this Earth.
Only us struggling to make amends."

and have this tattooed on my heart. God bless you for writing this... I think you were in my dream last night... I asked God to send me an angel to save my life... this morning i wake and read the above lines.... WOW! the message: we are all the same. Just keep loving, keep sharing. I love this and will lovingly place it upon my Wall-o-Fame! If only I could meet a man like this... angels would not exist and a true man would. Dreams. "Outside Dreams wait for those Brave enough to Live Them" ~a quote by Ark One!
Coyote, I will listen for your howl in my dreams and in those days I seek to be brave enough to capture one in my heart and in my hands.... I could go on but enough! Kiss, kiss and love 2~ always
