The Angels Embrace

An angels Embrace.

To everyone else your just a teen,
But through the aAngels eyes you can do things unseen,
You are forever locked in the Angels embrace,
Time to step out of the shadow of disgrace,

You walk in the light of day,
But darkness has taken your life away,
You cower in a corner, face full of tears,
When suddenly the angel reappears,

You must stay strong,
No need for evil, It just brings more wrong,
You are in the Angels embrace,
Evil is wiped away without a trace,

All the Angel has is love,
like a flock of white doves,
The darkness is starting to rain down,
And the Demons start coming around,

But then you are reminded,
Your lifes fate is already decided,
To walk in the light,

You are in the Angels embrace,
Time to live your life with grace.

Wow... Just... WOW!!

I like the way you're able to express the mood so well. That is really an amazing poem, Ben! ^_^

Great poem, Ben my man. Members not using this blog have no idea what they're missing. I think it's awesome for us to be able to use the blog for this kind of thing - not just for discussing issues and sharing thoughts about the good times we have, but also for sharing personal stuff through our personal talents.

Just a thought - and maybe this isn't your style, which is fine - but what if you added a little intro, or closing - something to let us know about the conditions under which you're writing.

Don't get me wrong - the poem stands up on its own just fine. It's not that we need you to explain them because they very much paint a vivid picture of what's in your heart.

But for the sake of maybe letting us in on the sorta "behind the scenes" stuff - since we're all brothers and sisters in Christ here and can do that sorta thing - maybe you could say something like, "I wrote this poem in response to..." or "I wrote this poem for so-n-so." Then it would be that much more personal, know what I mean?

Again, just a thought. If it's not your style to discuss the purpose of your work, I totally understand.

And Melody...what is all this "afraid to post her own poems" talk about, girl? Post 'em...and post some of your drawings too.

It's rhyme and rhythm. =)

Anyway, I like what Jason suggested, about giving the extra little details before or after the poems.. That would be great.. ^_^

Ok people I'll make you a behind the scenes post about what I was thinking at the time. Like I said before I didn't know that many people liked my poems. But I think It is a good idea to write what I am fealing at he time.
