Angel Stolen Under Darkness

by Laura   Sep 17, 2007


Only son to extremely proud parents
Your joyous sunrise was April 20, 1982
A vibrant, strong, handsome young man
Habitually adorned in the colour blue

Forever etched in my mind
The summer day we first met
Friendship quickly blossomed
An experience never to forget

Conscious of vanity, full of laughter
Governed by kind hearted personality
A loveable spirit, sporting jubilant smile
Celebrating the life of a lingering legacy

First my mind refused to believe
Shocked by unpleasant surprise
Heartbreak consumed my body
By news of your untimely demise

Time to bid my final farewell
I found it to be the hardest day
Trapped in a sickening reality
Inside the coffin your body lay

Hoping I will wake from this nightmare
Unremitting tears rolling down my cheek
My hand presses against the casket's wood
Choking on the words I wish I could speak

Your words impossible to silence
Even upon forced dying breath
Shame what it took to be heard
The senseless act of your death

Ripped from our lives before your time
Your fateful sunset was July 29, 2007
Eternal retention of treasured memories
An eternity resting in a musical heaven

R.I.P. - Michael George aka: Meyend Tricks

This is dedicated to a dear friend who fell victim to a senseless act of violence. In memory of my murdered friend, a legacy that lingers in our hearts.
xoxo

    I don't like first two stanzas but rest of this poem is great. You expressed strong emotions superbly and topic is very sad. I enjoyed in it, you just described every feeling excellently. Well done, this piece truly deserves 5/5(but maybe you should change first two stanzas they aren't good like the rest of this poem)

    I like it a lot, whole poem is greatly written, except the fact that you added the dates in the piece which didn't leave very good impression for me. Anyway, poem is very touching, filled with emotions. You did great job with rhyming, too, and the flow of the whole piece is excellent. Choice of words is also great in whole poem.
    Great job, 5/5 from me
