Description
Fallen AngelCrawling 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 awayβ¦
My tender flesh removed
My shattered wings released
My inner light unsheathed⦠escapes.
(c)2004 Joseph Palladino

I really like how no one has time to read your short explanation on how that is NOT your picture. I'll go ahead and compliment you on something YOU did.
It's nice.

I like the sounds of the words and phrases in this (the alliteration and so forth), it's very amorphous and flowing.
almost numb.
great poem. (I usually don't read poetry, lol.)
