Dark Angel

by RetroRavey   Jun 24, 2006


Shattered wings of black and purple,
Darkness on her mind,
A black and tattered angel,
Who hath fallen behind.

She withers in the darkness,
A cold brush off from God,
She's all alone in this world,
And to everyone she seems odd.

Oh beautiful creature of darkness,
Why do you wilt away?
I'll show you life and kindness,
If only for a day.

But this darkened angel fell faster,
Then I could reach to catch.
So now I light a candle for her,
With this lonely little match.

    This poem was well written and the meaning behind it was alright. I especially loved the part of lighting the candle with the match. This one line seemed a syllable too long with the word seems:
    And to everyone she seems odd.

    This is really good.. I like the whole idea behind the poem.. poems about fallen angels always seem to appeal to me. The rhyme scheme was great and didn't seem forced in no way and the words all fit together nicely. Great job on this! 5/5*
