All this nonsense talk of angels,
With wings of white and gold,
Messengers of that man upstairs,
Purveyors of good will I’m told.

Yet I don’t believe in angels

And still have neither guilt or fear
Of reprisals from that man upstairs
For I know my angel’s here.

Angelic she is, my heaven, my air,
The one I hold in silent prayer.

Posted by lemon 2008-07-18 13:54:24 .... Phil has a 'fluffy' personality? lol I liked this. I'm fairly certain you are not talking about a 'heavenly' angel here, but a person. I had to read over the second stanza twice before I realized that (yeah i can be slow lol). anyway Good poem. + Report this comment
Posted by Bomber 2008-07-18 15:14:17 .... Good, I liked it. For me it worked on more than one level. It could be about a person - it made me think of my daughter. But to someone like my dear old ma-in-law it would be about her cat!!! I see it more as about anything or anyone that a person would lean to. Does that make sense? + Report this comment

Posted by Squall1 2008-07-18 21:18:02 Not bad at all Good beginning, good ending. Some of the rhythms were a little rough, but that's about it. + Report this comment
Posted by Mokusa 2008-07-18 22:37:57 .... Thats a great little poem. I almost want there to be more. I could image two more lines at the end, just because its so good already. If that makes any sense... + Report this comment

Posted by chaabuk 2008-07-23 18:59:02 .... I like that about angels. But the word "voyeur" (a viewer who enjoys seeing the sex acts or sex organs of others) is out of context here. Did you mean a "messenger". But the angel, you've written it for, must be pretty happy. + Report this comment

Posted by colemoriss 2008-07-25 16:13:37 .... some angels exist as humans indeed, and i know a lot of them. the same goes with demons. evil and good are so grey now. its hard to find angels and demons. + Report this comment
