Within the midst of angels
Who bow in utter shame
Embarrased by your beauty
And the music of your name
You stand in solemn silence
On a pedestal of gold
And watch with frightened eyes
As your destiny unfolds
For a moment you are happy
Lost inside a peaceful dream
Where you walk among the rainbows
And you dance upon moonbeams,
But a rainbow cannot touch you
Or hold you close at night,
And you cannot kiss a moonbeam
Or make love to its light
So you cry in solemn silence
On a pedestal of gold
And you watch with frightened eyes
As your destiny unfolds
Standing in the midst of angels
Who all bow in utter shame
So embarrased by your beauty
And the music of your name

This is fantastic, the flow in this is excellent, and the words all complimented each other really well, that last stanza was an excellent ending to this poem and worked rather well with the title too, well done with the gold to

That was completely wondeful. Definitely one of the best I've read so far. Your a very good writer Rakerman

Hey this is amazing man, absolutely amazing. Are you the same person who wrote Rumours of Angels, because I would love to give them both trophies but alas I think that is a bit unfair on the other competition, who are pretty good too. I suppose I will have to choose my favourite! You are too good at these! Well anyway good luck, you've got a great chance. I love the symmetry of this. Take care dude xox

you are a great writer
keep up the great and awesumly awesum work!!! -
This really *was* breathtaking, especially the imagery regarding nature, and then the comedown that they arent physically there .... really enjoyed reading this!
-
oh how beautiful this is! The imagery and those beautiful words combined make for a breathtaking piece! Thank you so much for sharing; this is fabulous!

The beauty that is descirbed here doesn't seem skin deep, atleast to me. It seems like an inner beauty. This girl who lives in here dreams, so free, (dancing and singing in harmony is how I view her) lives in so many girls out there. This girl needs to come out into reality
. Yet the piece is so sad. Lonely and hurt at the thought of reality. Reminds me of someone . Beautiful write, great rhyming, lovely form. All I can say is keep writing...

I sit here breathless after reading this. You have taken me into your grasp and held me completely spellbound and captivated by the images that have been ever so carefully woven throughout your words here. You display such an amazing talent for writing with clarity and style. Each well chosen word goes down rich and smooth, like fine wine and they leave me thirsting for more. You have fueled my imagination with awesomely vivid imagery and a vibrant perception. You have ever so gently touched the depth of my soul. Don’t ever lay your pen down my friend.

Good....nuff said.

excellent writing
Your words express the loneliness of this person. Being beautiful, walking among rainbows, and dancing on moonbeams is all a very wonderful idea. Beauty cannot make you happy or take the loneliness away. The message you deliver here is a very important one. I enjoyed reading this one.

I got to thinking about my comment and realized that didn't come out right I was only saying that I could identify with her being alone and living in dreams....see you got me all messed up with this one.
Edited on Dec 13, 7:26 p.m. because 'still dreaming, still messed up'. -
Gosh Raker. I'm at a loss for words this time. The only thing that comes to mind is "I understand this girl" and "beautiful". That's all I can say to this one.
