~ Dark Angel Tears

I bled out through dark ashes

in attempts to heal stardust

You were floating on fluttered

     air of sea foamed ripples

My breath was stifled infinitely,

    intrinsic absence in your rhapsody

Drowning in abysmal insanity

 these depths of pensive poetry

    sworn  flourish of successful flight

Our blood mingled upon dismal wings

   henceforth glimpsing timelessness

        reverie

 of envisioned dark angel tears

This is one of your most imaginative and melodic pieces Mrs.R...you've said you're not into myths yet this one has a mythological quality to it...don't lose faith in poetry, even the pensive kind, to keep you afloat amid the insanity...life is littered with letdowns but poetry is not among them :) xo

[Frieda P]

Afloat amid the insanity, how aptly put Steve, thanks so much my friend. :-) xo

[kublakhan27]

Always a pleasure Frieda :) xo

[Frieda P]

You must be rubbing off on me if this has a mythological feel :-) x

[kublakhan27]

Haha you tell me Mrs.R ;)

[Angel]

Angels weep, I do believe that. Angels feel our grief.
As you have made this Angel feel yours, my friend...and I weep for you and with you.

[Frieda P]

Thank you Angel, I know you feel this kind of pain also, always my sweet friend.

It is almost debiltating when they leave too early...I sometimes stand at the edge of day, hoping for some reprieve. Hold me soul skyward ...begging for the trade...but only the breeze blows. Thank you Frieda this touches very personal to my own plight.There would be no light without the dark...but the dark does sting my eyes so. Mwuah!Bellissima!

[Frieda P]

Ah if it does, my heart aches for you, no one should have to fall to these depths, thanks for sharing RQ....muchly appreciated!

I see the brush is still in your hand as you have presented yet another masterpiece for us to reead. This one is deep and dark but so filled with beauty that my eyes feel they have seen the sun in the dead of night. Very beautiful my sweet friend.

[Frieda P]

Jack, dear Jack, you always humble me with your sweet words my friend.

And only until the end did we (the readers) learn that the bleeder was a dark angel, and that the dark angel persona is exactly just that, a persona, or rather, a thought. I feel like the dark angel part is some sort of egoistic aspect, or perhaps a subconscious way of putting yourself down..

[Frieda P]

Thanks Tai, always love to hear your thoughts on my poetry...

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

I love how you play with words. Each line has a touch of wit and art. Well written. ;)

[Frieda P]

Thank you Blue, jazzed you enjoyed> :-)

[Lily Mae]

I felt this so deeply. You have penned these emotions so well. When you write like this it always takes me deep into this shadow part of myself, a place of love, death, birth and renewal..or at least the belief that it's possible. Excellent write Frieda..xo

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Lily, so good to see you back again, have missed you my friend.

[carol burgess romance]

Sadness oozes from your soul.as you write this .....this is what i take away from your words..

[Frieda P]

Thanks carol, hope I didn't make too much of a mess.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

This can only come from your heart Frieda.. such stolen moments are bittersweet... the tears are dark and can bring you to the point of insanity...

I truly felt your words... etched beautifully!~xoxo~

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much my sweet friend, this one was written with blood tears yes...insanity and beyond some days. xoxo

[Robbie~xoxo~]

I feel you, Frieda... been there! lol ~xoxo~

[Frieda P]

I'm in great company then ;-) xo

[Robbie~xoxo~]

I'm afraid so! lol ;D XX

[Frieda P]

All the best people are a little bit crazy ;-D xo

[Mark]

I like this overall but am not too sure about the third stanza. I do shudder to think what would cause a dark angel to cry though.

[Frieda P]

You'd be amazed, thanks Mark...

[Angi]

There is so much pain in your words these days, Frieda. I feel like this is for your sister. It is a beautiful and heartbreaking piece. Angi~

[Frieda P]

Yes it is Angi, sometimes I become obsessed with the memories, thanks for your kind words my friend.
