Fallen Angel: Sans ClichesLooking onwards with a grace of grief
Littered is the past with broken dreams
Hopeless and unattainable as they are
Empty inside, I am heavy with burdens.

My name is soiled, my lover is lost, and my knees now falter
In quiet despair upon a foundation of childish mistakes
Whereas in one hand I hold audaciously, my final redemption:
A cold blade of sheathed steel, a tormentor’s temptation.

Remember, our fate is always but our own to make…
Embodied as it were, as in the rippling light of dawn
So my demons, from forth this sword to my grave
I pray this hour shall my soul witness a new day

For wherein my torment I was lo

Fallen Angel

Fallen Angel

Deep within this soul,
A fallen angel appears,
She is tormented daily,
burned and hated by the truth of life,
and struggles under the pain of it all,

It screams in the darkness,
searching out for that something,
trying to keep its head out of the water,
but no-one is there to rescue her before she drowns,

The angel holds on for life itself,
never understanding why,
life is so precious,
when your'e wanting to die,

All because of the life she leads,
this fallen angel stirrs,
in its lonely heart,
it slowly withers and dies,

Deep within this soul a fallen angel wanders,
in and out of existance,

Alone.

Tired.

Fallen AngelA fallen angel
Battered and bruised
eyes full of sorrow
With tear stained cheeks

A fallen angel
From heaven above
Hurt from the fall
Will she trust again

A fallen agel
With a broken wing
A torn robe
A broken heart

A fallen angel
Trying to find answers
Find the way
Find love

Fallen Angel

the angel has fallen from her cloud
her wings are tattered and torn
spattered with the filth from the world in which she fell
her face looks tired and worn
her halo is fallen and shattered
against the dark endless hell below
her eyes speak of pain and her broken heart
her spirit cries out in unspeakable woe

heart brokenIn my dreams
It was me in your arms
My lips on yours
There was only us
And the clouds
And the stars
It was the world and us
It was us against the world
But in your arms I could take it
Anything the world dished out
And with your kisses I was strong again
In my dreams it was me in your arms
My lips on yours
But in reality
It's always been her

Fallen AngelHere I am battered
And broken,
I used to be your dream,
But now I’m your nightmare.
I haunt your dreams day and night,
Even when you aren’t sleeping.
You used to say I shined bright like the sun,
But now my light has gone,
And only darkness lives inside me.
Even your love cannot save me anymore.
The darkness engulfs me just like the fire in my soul.
Which burns away at every emotion.

Fallen AngelAngel, stop crying
Hey Darling
No more tears

Baby, start smiling
Keep fighting
For those years

When all the world made sense
One more hurdle, one more fence

Chorus:
And I'll climb every mountain
To reach you, all alone
And I'll bring down the walls
To reach you, I'm comin' home
And I'll run those many miles
Fallen Angel, all alone

Honey, don't give up flying
Your wings ain't dying
They're simply torn

And the world ain't talking sense
One more hurdle, one more fence

Chorus:

Bridge:
I won't take no for an answer,
I won't take no for today
I won't stop holding your hand and
I won't let you get away

Angel, quit your hurt

The Fallen Angel

She sits in a dark corner all alone,
An angel who fell unwillingly into this world.
She makes her way over to look in the mirror,
Looking at her back her eyes begin to tear.
Here wings are gone now all that's left are scars,
Wings that were once so beautiful and stretched so very far.
She remembers the day they were ripped off her back,
There is no way she could ever forget that brutal attack.
Her eyes once so bright and filled with hope,
Now dark and filled with sadness they have turned cold.
She once wore a beautiful glittering dress,
That dress no longer glitters its now a dirty mess.
Long flowing beautiful hair of gold once co

Insomnia-A dark nursery rhyme

Insomnia:

twinkle twinkle
little pain
I see you've come
to play again
lodged here in my soul so tight
turning brightness into night
twinkle twinkle
tearing ache
please let me sleep
to never wake….

…now I lay me down to sleep
my life in tatters at my feet..
if I should Wake before I die
I pray these tattered wings can fly..

twinkle twinkle
empathic strain
I never want to feel again
trapped here in this world so cold
where self is wrong
and Us is gold.
twinkle twinkle
falling tear..
how i wonder why i'm here..

_forget you

It will be easy to forget you...
I just can't look to the sky
or even remember the sea...
I'll just have to stop dreaming
and learn how to be alone...
I know I'll forget you..
I just can't remember your smile..
your beautiful eyes,
your sweet mouth...
I can do it,
I know I can...
I just can't look to anything,
I just can't remember,
I just can't live...
or love...
I'll forget how important you are on my life...
I'll just have to forget myself...

Is It Love?If I hugged you,
would you never let go?

If I kissed you,
would you cherish that moment?

If I reached for your hand,
would you take mine gently?

If I needed a shoulder,
would you let me cry on yours?

If I needed to talk,
would you really listen?

If I needed to scream,
would you do it with me?

If I needed to go,
would you come with me?

If I fell for you,
would you catch me?
or just let me hit the pavement?

ForeverForever, have I lost you?
You're fading from my sight.
Can you not see we're falling?
We're dying in the night.
My heart is yours, Forever,
I'll never turn away.
I'll wait for you to find me.
I'll try to make you stay.

You promised me, Forever,
To make our hearts as one.
Did you forget, Forever,
To tell me we were done?
Forever, will you hold me,
And sooth my heart to sleep?
Tell me again, Forever,
That I'm the one you'll keep.

My heart will beat, Forever,
Until you bid it rest.
I'll live for you, Forever.
I'll try to pass this test.
Forever, I feel empty,
My heart has told a lie.
Forever, can you promise
That you won't

Love itI feel your hands in my hair.
I feel your breath on my neck.
I feel your body pressed so close to mine.
I feel your lips on my throat.
I feel your hands move to my back and your lips work their way up to mine.
I feel you and I love it.

I hear you say you love me.
I hear you whisper my name.
I hear you tell me I'm the only one for you.
I hear your breath in my ear.
I hear your soft snores as I fall asleep.
I hear you and I love it.

I see you as I run into your arms.
I see your face break through my world of darkness.
I see you fight away my fears.
I see you wipe away my tears.
I see you're in love with me.
I see you and I love

Eight Kisses

Eight Kisses

One

You can call
it emptiness, breath, epithet, or oblivion
or love, or the thing we can't

touch, while in motion.
      The rush
of your mouth in me like icemelt water,

innocent, surging
like a creek,
touching,

   stopped.

Fallen Angel

Fallen angel don´t you cry
No one will wipe your bloody tears
Fallen angel why won´t you fly?
Will you tire out through the years?
Will you go down to earth again?
Without you
Nothing will ever be the same
So fallen angel don't cry
Please
Don´t you cry for me
Because I won´t be there to wipe your tears
Like I always did through the years
Wipe the blood tracks from your face
Because mortals who see you,
Seek death's embrace
Angel face with a demon's soul
Fallen angel I love you.

Amor Perdido

Amor Perdido
Donde vaya el corazon,
Cuando la vida no tiene razon,
Cuando pierdas amor?

Mi estrella, todavia te siento en mi
Siento todo tu amor y tu luz
Pero ya te perdi

Y cada hora que te quiero mas
Me duele que no te puedo ver
Que no me quieres jamas

Y pienso de todos los momentos que tuvimos
Todas las horas que te tuve en mis brazos
Pero despasito, estos recuerdos de ti, me van

Ahora, no puedo sentir tus besos o ver tu cara
Aqui sentado solo, empiezo a llorar, sin nada
Sin recuerdo del amor que me salvo, de tu

Mi amor, mi estrella, tu eres mi vida, mi unica felicidad
Y sin ti, tengo ninguna razon que vivir
Y no te culpo

Phoenix

Phoenix
The phoenix is my symbol
It is my sign
For it is my strength
My souls twine

For I am the phoenix
I am the fire
Death and rebirth
In me is one pyre

In flame immortal
My soul consumes
The universal power
Through which life blooms

For I am a god
I am life
My glory be crowned
Naught rage I with strife

Mortal Flowers

Mortal flowers
Weep and bleed
Of lost Romance
A lifeless seed

But one who searches
Rooted to the ground
Must learn to wait
Till love is found

When shall that hour come?
When will your passion spring?
In the blossoms of summer my friend
Upon those purple butterfly wings

My Forever Angel

My Forever Angel
Upon the weepy willows of his castor opal shells,
Trickled silver wisps of moon light,
Cast in the shadow of purple spells,
Before the cobalt of dawn broke the night.

Under the glades of golden heather spears,
Wept this my forever angel,
Lost now to the darkest of fears,
Crouched at the threshold of somber hell.

For folded had I been in his weary sprouts,
Through the night, seeking everlasting peace if only in name,
And through the bleakness of it all, heard I his cries and shouts,
But who was I to ever blame.

"Look, said I, not into the wounds of your heart,
But cradle my broken wings,
Before I forever depar

Hold Me

I fell from grace that fated hour that our sins bred
Last night when I was caught in the folds of your bed

I gave you something never given before
Something innocent and dear, yet more

And oh how I needed you to take my body, soul, and all
So God, why shall I never be forgiven for this, my sinful fall?

…(I heard no answer)

And so I turned the other cheek, out of regret and despair
Hold me please my love, my body is naked, and my soul is bare

Tonight I need you, more than any other night that I've been alone
Because…when I am in bed with you I feel as if I am finally home

So kiss me gentle, and do love me sweet
And don't forget to

Fallen Angel

Fallen Angel
Crawling in my forlorn appearance
I hide my soul behind these tattered wings
Tattered and broken as they are
Plucked of light, stained in tears and blood.

In quiet despair upon the cold earth
Smeared in dirt I crouch upon my weary knees
And clutched timidly between my fingers
Rests one last jewel of Hope.

A single unblemished plume plucked
From the silver light of dawn
A feathered ray of light from beyond
To illuminate the void that has me bound.

This precious barb of silk
Once lost as I was and forgotten
Blazes now to immerse me in radiant bliss
To wash away the pain, draw me from the abyss.

So now I fade away…
My tender flesh removed
My shattered wings released
My inner light unsheathed… escapes.

omg this is awesome!!

~Fresh-T Feb 23, 2013

Eh... I guess this just isn't my kind of poetry. Doesn't really churn me in any way. No disrespect.

~The14thMusician Mar 19, 2013 New member Hobbyist Writer

Excuse me? What's wrong with it, and what kind of poetry do you prefer?

~Fresh-T Mar 19, 2013

There's nothing wrong with it, it just isn't my taste. I'm a little lost in the plot and purpose. I guess I prefer narrative poetry rather than poetry that tries to paint a picture. Again, no offense to the writer.

~The14thMusician Mar 19, 2013 New member Hobbyist Writer

Hm... thank you for your reply. Now I know what others like as well. Could you look at my gallery, and comment on which you prefer?

~Fresh-T Mar 19, 2013

Of course! It'll be my pleasure.
