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.

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

. the entire poem has a beautiful message but i liked the above two lines especially ... you speak of clarity of thought and action ... thank you for this ...

This reminds me of my poem "Today's Society". They're really alike in the message that's within them. An excellent job on an excellent write.

This is a great poem with such a touching meaning.
We are people should be proud of who we are, and not
let anyone treat us as worthless, nothing, because we
all have something in us.

This word you used:insulated(I'm not sure what word you
were wanting to use, but it soesn't sound right in that text).
You might want to reread it to yourself.

Thanks for sharing...great poem.

As always, reading your poem has enlightened me and has got me thinking. Nice job man! Great write.

[Summer Blue]

That was very touching. Sad and beautiful all at the same time. I really enjoy reading your poetry. Everything you write is so true about life. I think this one is my favorite so far. I wouldn't change anything about it. This one tells a story that takes you to the place you speak of. I could picture the the sea and your hand. Great Great writing!!!

Excellent poem Coyote. It just goes to show that there's someone for everyone.

[Atheana Kylee-S. C.]

Lovely poem :]

[Cattie Rain (Angela)]

This is sadly beautiful. Everyone needs someone to be there for them, even if it takes a while for them to reach out and take your hand. The brokenhearted person feels a little bit of warmth in just knowing that you're there for them. I really like this piece. Nice work.

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....
