He once called me angel, his angel of the night,
perfection’s twist of fancy, a moment of delight.
A catalyst, which burnished retributions of the soul--
His cotton candy slow dance, the half that made him whole.
But misfortune was my folly in the wake of gravity,
his steel no longer binds me, just a lucid memory--
Now festered with decay as my wings molt on the floor
and pores of reality burst again from one who was adored.

Thank you Stef, I truly appreciate your time spent reading my scribbles and leaving your wonderful thoughts behind
Life doesn't always play fair and true with a heart, most often what we think is best turns out completely the opposite. It's how we process the outcome that builds our character for the future.
Thank you again!

The reason I tend to read pieces of poetry and maybe not others is that I like to read things that inspire me, bring on a certain emotion or that I can relate to. The latter explains this reason. Although I will read all poems and comment fairly and enjoy them, those you can see from your own minds eye makes it easier for you to get involved. I have felt like this. Innocence being broken, taken in by the big wide world and realising a love once believed was indeed a fabrication of a girl desperate to be cared for. Thanks for sharing with us Sandi,

Good morning Paul, first of all...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Thank you for stopping in and reading my work my friend, I truly appreciate you! Now as to that lost thingy, it happens to the best of us, so you're in good company
The picture brought to mind a sex toy and with that the words given took me on a journey that ironically happens to a lot of "beautiful toys". When age creeps up the beauty of a gorgeous body doesn't always last, she gets fat, loses her luster and well, off he goes..a sad tragedy in life, when beauty is only skin deep and love was only a shallow pool.
Thanks again sweetie!
Many blessings Sandi
