Wounded Angel

A Poem by Coyote Poetry

  Wounded Angel..

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

Your world has fell apart and
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 had 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 and
I told 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.
Find kinder and better people to befriend.

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

Really Fabulous meditation Coyote - truly we have all been there, and if not yet in some cases, it has yet to happen. We must keep fighting the good fight and strive to be better whatever cards Life may deal to us ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Walk with me you broken angel, as I am broken too; we're worthless to ourselves and others but perhaps we can escape together into a new life, a new world where we won't scrounge, but we'll hold our heads high...no one is kind to us, but we can be kind o each other... walk with me and lets free ourselves where there is hope...."we must ascend from the lingering hell".....
great write John...

"Ain’t no real Angels on this Earth."
A true statement Coyote. Most are pretenders. Nice work.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Duff. Old world is hard enough. We need more kind words and less negative people near.

[Lisasview]

All we need is a bit of kindness...right!!
But then people can be so thoughtless...really horrible...
I believe in being kind... takes nothing to be kind...

An old poem which has a timeless message in it Coyote. Kindness costs nothing. A touching write about supporting friends who are in need of kindness and understanding in troubled times. What a huge difference that can make in our lives. An understanding and non judgemental ear. Beautiful work.

I agree dear Chris. We need the mercy of a friend. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment.

The text describes a conversation between a sad friend and a supportive companion. The companion encourages the sad friend to find solace in their company and leave behind negative influences. They acknowledge the challenges both have faced and emphasize the importance of seeking a better path and surrounding themselves with kinder people. The text ends on a hopeful note, symbolizing a new beginning.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. We need kind people near to keep us hopeful.

Your poems, as always make me feel as if they are jumping out of the page and talk to me like a philosopher.

Excellent finish this :

Sometime we must get up.
Tell the world to back away.

Find a better path to be on.
Find kinder and better people to befriend.

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

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading and the comment. I appreciate the kind words.

[light and ashes]

I feel sure that I have read this words from you before, but they touch me on a new level now.
Maybe, that is because, I feel so much more like this friend that you have mentioned.
Oh, how badly, we all need friends....true friends.
Friends that love unconditionally.
We need to find solace in one another.
We need to find God in one another.
Maybe now, more than ever.

Beautiful write.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very old one my dear friend. I agree. We need the mercy of kindness and friendship.

[light and ashes]
