[hometext] => * I hope you like this since i spent a lot of time on it. There might be a Part II although I doubt it if you get the last two lines or think you do let me know. *
[bodytext] => The angel stares at his torn wings
That lie at his feet in helpless lumps
Once the envy of all beings
Now he feels the bleeding stumps
That protrude from his back
And he realizes he is one of the Fallen
Devastated by thoughts of his sin
He calls out to God...
Even though with Him he knows he cannot win
A further realization that he is flawed
With nerveless fingers he strokes his wings
Touching each feather to begins to weep
Staring out the window at the continuous rain
And touching his back raw and bleeding
He stares at the heavens and sings a lonely refrain
Deep in his heart he knows what he is needing
A sense of hopelessness bathes him
His wings stripped and rotted by sin
The Darkness begins to steal your soul
Your once beautiful face
Turns to a sneer towards the God you debase
Your turn of allegiance eats you whole
Tormented by loneliness and emptiness
The haunting cries will always beset you

Wow Joel, that was good. Amazing pictures were brought to my mind, your
words were perfect for this idea. Even in my near sleep state, I know that
this was awesome. I even went slow so I got it all. You captured feelings
I've felt before over and over - how I've fallen and made mistakes, and how
hopeless it is there. It's nice to know others understand this pain, but
it's sad to think you had to feel this to understand it.
Nice job, once again.

| this was well writen and full of imager for the minds eye, yes I do have to agree with the others in saying that his was truly one of those that if you have felt this way it makes it all the better, your choice of structure and flow were great. sorry to say but I dont get the last two lines (please do tell.) I do hope that this is not something that you are going through now (shrugs). well better rape this up. God bless. |

| well joel you sought out to write a masterpiece that is well liked and you have accomplished that feat. i must say my interpretation of the last two lines is that the turn of loyality against god makes this person lonely and empty without god and his love. the haunting cries that he gives to be taken back by god will always be turned away and denied, and he will only be reminded that sometimes when you give up on your faith or change your mind and do something wrong, you cannot correct the mistake, you have to live with it. =] feel free to tell me the real meaning, joel, lol. the way i was going i could have written my own essay on the wrong ideas.... |

| Now that, is one kickass poem. I found it to be absolutely beautiful, and the images in my head were like a movie. Each line brought a new image. Absolutely amazing work, Joel. |
