He felt a wet drop fall to his hand,
He shouldn't be crying for he is a man,
He saw an angel of this he was sure,
I see her and fall upon once more;
Ask me to describe and I will only try,
Watch her smile, see the gleam in her eye.

Miraculous far beyond compare,
Day turns to night and I can't help but stare,
Night after night my heartbeat shows fear.
No matter what I do I know you are there.

Are you waiting for the sun to "hello"?
Be still, my Love, let your heart show it's glow.
I'm lost as candlelight at noon,
Longing to be with you;
Angel, put your hands in my pockets,
Don't be scared upon fear and lies.
Because we know what this is and we know how none compared.
If our fellowmen ask what this is,
We simply reply "It's love that we shared."
Then I find,
I feel this passion grow,
To face all that's been lost,
It's not too late to give control now.
Got YWS?

I have to say, this line reminded so much of David Blunt's song 'Beautiful'. God that song was annoying...

Ask me to describe and I will only try,
Watch her smile, see the gleam in her eye.


It just doesn't flow for me... In my opinion it'd be better if you wrote 'I can only try' and then perhaps described something beautiful? A nice place for a pretty metaphor.

Miraculous far beyond compare,

Don't just say it. Show it.

Angel, put your hands in my pockets,


My favourite line. =]

Don't be scared upon fear and lies.


This line just doesn't make sense to me...

Overall

There's room for improvement, but I like the idea of it. Just remember, the best poets write their poems in days, not minutes. ;)
Sometimes you have to look beyond what you see, if that fails... Just listen to Cher.

Hey Dusty ^^ Shina here. I really liked this poem. The flow didn't seem too forced. The last stanza wasn't too good for me, but I definitely liked the beginning. The idea was good and I liked it. It's good. I fixed some of the punctuation as you can see.

Other than that, I habve nothing else to say.

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself into one.

The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.

this poem is amazing. just plain amazing. it might be because i love an angel myself, i dont know.

Angel, put your hands in my pockets


what exactly are you implying? :wink:
i really like the last two lines. they just wrap everything up very very nicely.

--mark--
yeah the sun may brighten your day, but if i had my way, I'd take the rain

He gave her 12 roses. 11 real and one fake. Then he said "I'll love you till the last rose dies"

It's not David blunt, it's James Blunt. gosh, get your names right. (haha I'm just kidding)

ok, anyways, this was pointless, except to say how much I love that song, and this poem was awesome :D
keep it up!!
Alone- alone- all- all- alone
Upon the wide, wide sea-
And God will not take pity on
My soul in agony!
- Mary Shelley
