Favorite Quote:
She's got cherry lips, angel eyes.


dried tears on the face of an angel


to the touch, cold as a statue


soul is free, no longer dark or mangled

 

angel of stone in a graveyard, although stationary, i cannot catch you

 

stone wrists cannot bleed


but your wings cannot break


i pray for your blessing i need


or else my lover now must be fake

 

though dark october took you from this world


the rebirth of april cannot bring you to return


you turned to stone with your fingers curled


you cannot fly away, but you never learn

 

my statue of an angel in a cemetery


stuck frozen still forever and a day


the devils muse, away he will try to carry


an angel of stone in a cemetery you will always stay

This poem is about loss of a loved one by suicide. I'm working on a series of poems with a similar feel to this, all keeping the angel idea in them.
