Sistine Angels

A love poem...

Your eyes,

-a window of stained glass

Broken, pieced, from your past

Beneath a vaulted brow, an arch

To Sistine angels, that softly march

Through your mind,

-singing songs such as this,

-whispering love with your kiss.

 

From pink lips, gently pursed

With fingertips, that touch them first

Testing skin,

-nerves, the finger swerves

The Sistine angels start to spin

 

The glass shatters

A million, tiny frames are scattered

Your eyes are crystal blue,

The stained glass window,

-showing true,

Clearer skies, beyond the glass

With sunlit rays, that shine at last.

I press my lips upon yours quick

And whisper a prayer,

-That the Sistine angels will see it fair

To keep your lips, always there.

This is so beautiful. I love how you described everything. I can tell your fiance and you truly have something special.

I do love her very much. I feel that there aren't enough words in the world to describe how much I care for her. Sometimes you meet people, who in them you see and feel the culmination of all your life and troubles. As if every step, every fall, every tear, and every laugh was pushing you on a path so that when you met that person, you both clicked perfectly. That's the way I feel about her. Sorry, I can get carried away lol xD Thank you, as always I really appreciate all your reviews. You're one of like three people on here that I look forward to seeing their thoughts on everything I put up. Thank you. ^^

[MachinaWriter]

Thank you so much. Writing about my fiance is something that comes easily to me, and something I never tire of doing. There's a limitless amount of ways you can describe love, and none of them will ever encompass it fully. That's why its such a great topic. Sorry, ranting lol xD Thank you for reading this. ^^

[Pearlie]

This is absolutely beautiful. It really touches the reader and leaves them longing for something similar- or so it did me. I really enjoyed this, definitely one of my favorite pieces. Great job, friend.

Thank you, as always. I thought I was writing about a cathedral at first, but then quickly realized it was about my fiance. I redid the beginning and this is what ended up coming out. lol I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I really liked it man, the stained glass across her eyes shattering and showing her true color, amazing. Nicely done.

[MachinaWriter]

Thank you. I originally thought I was writing about a church, until a few lines in, then I restarted the poem and came out with this. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
