~ 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 ;)

'intrinsic absence in your rhapsod'y - the feeling of someone who is there but not there Frieda, is very well represented in this poem.

Okay, okay Frieda you have shown me that you can be serious and this well worded piece is proof positive. Your friend in words, Pete

[Frieda P]

You never know what you're going to get Pete, thanks so much.

[Vani Jalagar]

very strong feeling of sad soul and broken angel........awesome.
"Our blood mingled upon dismal wings
henceforth glimpsing timelessness
reverie of envisioned dark angel tears"

It is axiomatic this angel is broken inside, bleeding inwards endlessly...this is indeed powerful :)

[Frieda P]

Thank you so much for your most gracious review Vani, so glad you enjoyed this one, it's very personal one for me. :-)

[Vani Jalagar]

My pleasure :) somewhere it relates to me a bit :) I'm a lover of writings that tags sorrow and unexplained grief within it....so this is the perfect one to love......

[Frieda P]

Funny you should say, I just read one of yours along those lines... :-)

I liked this, but in a wee bit of a critical response, this might have worked better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R6WIbx8ysE

Thanks, good choice , but this song holds a special significance for me about my sister...

[Glen Yumang Manese]

liked the language of this one...sets the tone in the verse...as I read down the lines...and I like the font for once...thanks for the invite...

[Frieda P]

You and your font, thanks Glen...

[Glen Yumang Manese]

you're welcome...by the way...hehehe...I have to give you a smile some how...

[Tom]

Quite dark and haunting here Frieda, though the imagery is just as good and surreal as all your sensuous love filled writes!

Your literacy spectrum broadens my imagination once more !

[Frieda P]

You humble me Tom, thanks so much!

[Rita L. Sev]

A heavy-hearted read, ethereal and lovely. I read your grief between these lines Frieda. Your pen bleeds sorrow, but it is beautiful...

[Frieda P]

Thanks Rita, much appreciate your kind words.

[Tate Morgan]

When dreams become reality it is hard to quantify their meaning

[Frieda P]

Amen, more like a nightmare...

[Tate Morgan]

Yeah and then what do we do

[wordwarrior]

A deep and haunting poem Frieda, the complete opposite of one I just read. I agree with Stella, that last verse resonates deeply.
Wonderful dark writing

[Frieda P]

I have to change it up or go crazy wordwarrior, thanks so much for your gracious review.

[Stella Armour]

have to admit i never heard this guy before..really deep and dark this Frieda. Haunting as well, i keep reading the last verse... devastatingly beautiful...

[Frieda P]

I discovered his music after he died of a drug overdose in 2005 at the young age of 30...such a talent, thanks Stella.
