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.

My favourite stanza is this:
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.
I am going to add you to my watch

nothings wrong with being happy.
My tender flesh removed
My shattered wings released
My inner light unsheathed… escapes*
But the absolute beauty of its tragedy, its misery, sets my heart to flying
into a soulwrenching climax, then everything falls and becomes buried and forgotten.
My burnt heart. And mine envys yours. Beautiful. You are one of my favourite poets
