No Angel
You say you're "no Angel"
And we're left in a tangle
Words expressed with feeling
Still searching for their meaning
Does this give you a license so freeing
You can do whatever without stressing?
Responsibilities old and frayed
Distressed, dismayed and betraying
Keeping everything so tightly wound
Is bound to cause a rupture
Spewing the pain you strive the concele

Memorial Park
A bronze, winged man holding an olive branch
emerges from his fountain and war-torn stance
Deco fence reflects St. Johns River ripples
Cotton tops reveal taut nipples
Weary jogger sucks the air
Bluejay announces his high-n-mighty affair
Golden Pup sniffs the grass for savory gems
His human on her phone fights for amends
River sparkles do a dance m...

TINY CROWN
Tiny crown purer than pure white actual angel simply born to guide
The shell of an angel to her mother's right side
To the left a bright white blinding aura
Nothing purer ..spirit daughter
A mother whose heart feels its been stolen
In time will see that she was chosen
Tiny crown sent from above
Heal mummy's heart with your sacred love

Ginger
before I raised my hands
but not in applause,
she was a live-wire,
pulled like an angel jitterbugging
towards the light of stars in a
wild nocturnal samba or
waltzing past the jaws of bats in
ball-gown of brown and ginger,
this after
bearing a plane-full of young, then
jiving like a flying tiger,
break-dancing on honeysuckle nectar
that ballerina's heart be...

The Lotus in the Marsh
I see the world around me
Shifting from origin,
Natures and actions of people
Deviating astray with no precision.
Yet, among the chaos I seek and find,
The one soul who I thought I could easily leave behind.
Her eyes sparkling with love, and her heart, oh so kind,
She lifts me up with her energy, her voice revitalising my mind.
She creates a symphony guided ...

Corrigendum : Blue Scarf Yellow Suit
It was actually green and I hadn’t any clue
I penned down lines thinking it’s blue
Stanza after stanza inspired by the subject
Perhaps I was mesmerized, perhaps it’s true.
The subject threw light on my thoughts
And I weaved praise of all sorts.
There was a gush of guilt within me then,
While my poem had topped the charts.
Reception wrong yet the lines made some se...

Angel
White invision to my eye
feel your presence round the sky.
Glare has punctured right through,
yet you kill the dark that brew.
Tingle down the spine
piercing shot from behind.
And there you appear
once a thought, now so clear.
Now pulled out weightless
taken to my father's fortress.
Commencement of life Part Two
tell me, tell me is this who

The Angel
Her eyes would never see the rainbow and the light..
But by her, my soul was to be ignited and benight ...
Her tiny hands that day clasped unsteadily with my own..
Touching mystically my core in ways I have never known..
An orphan who embraced the world as if it belonged to her..
What vision dare not achieve, her touch unveiled and gifted life to her.
Teaching her sounds and syllables, ...

Fallen Angel
You have lost your smile.
Where is it gone ? I do not recognise you anymore.
Your lips strech, I can see your teeth,
You could have fooled us,
You could have fooled me.
Howerver, there is no longer any spark;
Your eyes are weeping and I am the witness of a bygone joy.
Forgive these crude words, there are not meant to hurt you.
What is this place that have smothered y...

Time
Time
Time lies like a guardian angel,
lost in a past
that shall leave a trace,
safe within the pleats
of this life's fabric.
Look and remember
a white poppy's petal
that brushes gentle as night
across our peaceful faces
with silken care.

Sculpted
You took my skeleton out of my body and molded my spine to stand straight.
With your skilled hands you took me apart and put me back together, like you had done so many times.
In one piece, after so many years - you taught me what it was like to stand alon
You sculpted my wings in perfect likeness of yours.
With each feather, you gave me hope and confidence.
I was an angel -...

Tears, Earned
Our Beloved Mother, Another year, another birthday without you. Miss everything about you...gone but never forgotten. As much as our Mother lives on in our hearts we miss her terribly so...and days like these, especially a day like today, when we should be celebrating all of her, with her .We can't because she was taken from us a long time ago. It feels like forever yet the memories and pain ...

My Baby Boo
Today my heart felt a blow,
By a view so divine.
I let my emotions flow,
Like a 30 year old wine.
There it was in that tiny box,
With pulses of energy shooting through,
That blurry image came across,
Like the inside of a Great Gray Kangaroo.
I felt her hand touching mine,
Held her hand - fingers entwined,
Watching my angel wriggle and shine,
With the life of Us combined.
Seeing y...

GUARDIAN ANGEL
To hold you up
if you start to fall
and fly to your side
whenever you call.
To hold you close
when dark closes in,
I’ll feed your heart
and beat from within.
To feel your warmth
and the glow of your smile,
when the clouds are parted
we can see for miles.
To hold your hand
through life's testing times,
to shield and protect
on those slippe...

The Day You Begin To Live
October-2-2000
Trisha M. Hopkins
The day you begin to live
Is the day you start to die
Things you see aren't what you believe
Even the first tear you cry
Is already the thing of the past
The hardest you try
You cant make the day last
The day you take your first breath
Is the day you gasp for air
Trying to figure out whats next
The sound of angels is what you hear

Dedicated to those of 9/11
The day the angels cried
We lost our life and our pride
The day the angels cried
Is the day we lost our children, husband, and wives
What has changed?
The strength of the world, our lives
Its been rearranged
The one above
He'll help us through
All we can do is love

Have you ever heard an angel laugh?
Or watched her go about her day,
In a pleasant kind of way,
And realize that you are happy too,
Just because she laughs with you.
And know that if she were to ask,
You would accept her any task,
And do it with unblinking speed,
If only it was you she’d need.
Have you ever known such despair?
To always have an angel there,
Who gives meaning to each passing d...

FALLEN ANGEL - a song
You sparkled like a shining star
When I first saw you from afar
You promised what I'd never known
And I sought you for my own
But love with you was not to be
You couldn't share your light with me
However hard you said you tried
The glow between us dimmed and died
Angel - you are my fallen Angel
All hope of love with you has flown
Angel - you are my fallen An...

I Miss You
Hello there,
Angel from my nightmares.
Devil from my dreams
a grey spirit that weaves
its way through my existence.
What a Dementor does to souls
or a Dalek to a human heart.
Even a superhuman heart
can break.
Just ask Logan,
a force so strong
a returning phoenix
could not reignite remnants.
I miss you.
Whatever yo...

What Angels?
what angels they?
they that always seem
to be looking
the other way
while in absentia
those robed in blight
and grey
of beak pick the bones of
our grief
genuflecting promises
on the never-never
of a day
after tomorrow that none
will ever see
what angels they?
they that can no longer
play

My Angel Visited My Dreams Tonight
My angel visited my dreams tonight
And looked at me with sweet delight.
Listen-he said, and my heart gashed,
Crystal world of dreams has crashed.
I am leaving you, I’m fed up and sick
To save you from the mistakes in lyric,
Love is only and only an earthly thing,
Without my help you will better sing.
Don’t fly away, - I begged him kindly,
Gi...

Don't Cut Her Wings!
To clean her room
She uses a simple broom.
She is a nice girl,
All that she does shines like a pearl.
You have to be careful,
You have to be faithful.
She is an angel,
She is from a chapel.
Don’t try to gamble!
She is bashful.
She is brittle ,
She is beautiful.
She is a sample
Of a beautiful song.
She doesn’t know ...

A Man Who Fell To Earth
A Man Who Fell To Earth

Religion speaks of higher states of grace,
Yet Angels fall despairingly,
All around – Cherubs are put
Through pain,
Has the Dark Lord risen,
To claim a victory of insanity
While overseeing death?

Warned of this but ...

An angel cried
A seemingly endless corridor of doors
closed, dark and foreboding
I walk,
I walk,
I walk
I want to open each but i know
a deep and unknown fear
lies behind each and every one
I walk through a door
which one i dont' t recall
and the hidden ones half glimpsed
almost seen yet hide in close shadows
are they who bleed morning dew,
evening myst, and the eternal fertile seed

Football
When you wake up right in the middle of a cold cold night
and there's no such a thing as a warm blue light
with hardly anyone around
yet you're still loved
your dreams-
justified
it really seems
your life is made of dreams
we breathe, neither awake nor asleep
our world falling apart, yet there's football on TV
with all there is to come - just how shall an...
