What About Angels

She was a mother.

A friend.

She always cared for others.

An angel.

Her only goal, to make them happy.

She was so beautiful, 

...She didn't even know.

As delicate and fragile, as a butterfly.

Her touch so gentle, and voice so soft.

She was, an Angel.

Giving light in times of darkness,

She'd make it all ok.

At night, she used to cry,

Until she fell asleep.

Dreams that spoke to her.

And called her back to safety.

This harsh world had taken her light.

Drained her of her beauty.

They wanted more from her.

The skies ached to protect her.

They had dropped a star.

A vulnerable heart,

And innocent soul..

She was always there.

She was.

Simple, beautiful poem.A pleasure to read

[Jerome F Knox III pseud..]

Sometimes depth is needed. The last group of stanzas really brought the message home.

The skies ached to protect her.
They had dropped a star...love this lines

[Camryn Jeter]

Wow. You didn't overdo it on the descriptive details, which kind of leaves an element of mystery and leaves it open to interpretation about some things. That's how I see it at least. Beautiful.

I enjoyed reading your poem it is beautiful!

This is beautiful Ayejodie. I have been thinking a lot lately about how as women we take care of everyone else. always there for others. We forget about ourselves. It sounds like this person did a lot of that until her light was gone.

[Cool Girl]

Wow. Very very deep... I love it!

[Lizardo]

Ah I see this in the context of a mother not an angel
Always soft and delicate trying to protec us...
But the angels too are like that, they are probably like second mothers to us? I don't know
The thing is that this poem is great and carries a lot of sentiment in it
Do love poems that go to my heart, Great piece of work!

[ayejodie]

Yeah it is more about a mother but I just portrayed her as an angel, as like a comparison really? :)
Thanks again for your feedback Lizardo, glad you enjoyed it :)

[Lizardo]

It's true like a comparison, you are welcome :)
