mousers angels (pantoum)

Many angels for me as friends,
pretty souls that light my day,
touch my life while it bends,
ease the hollowness with words they say...

pretty souls that light my day,
embrace my wonder of this crazy life,
ease the hollowness with words they say,
heal me like the one that would be my wife...

embrace my wonder of this crazy life,
a storm of emotion that sweeps me up,
heal me like the one that would be my wife,
drink from this hearts overflowing cup...

a storm of emotion that sweeps me up,
cleanses the ache enduring from before,
drink from this hearts overflowing cup,
slake my thirst in such a mystic rapport...

cleanses the ache enduring from before,
broken crying eyes and wings lift my thought,
slake my thirst in such a mystic rapport,
and make sure that it hasn't all been for naught...

broken crying eyes and wings lift my thought,
my terrific hearts that won't see me hurt,
and make sure that it hasn't all been for naught,
would rather have around as their flirt...

my terrific hearts that won't see me hurt,
touch my life while it bends,
would rather have around as their flirt,
many angels for me as friends.

    I could NEVER master this type of write! But you did so with such ease and elegance. Very, very well done!
    You have many, many angels here at AP who simply adore you! What does that say about you, sir? You are quite popular with us ladies, indeed!!!!!
    Good luck in the contest, this will be difficult to top. Reads like GOLD to me.

    dearest dave,
    thank you so much for your contribution in my little contest. you have perfectly mastered the difficult form of a pantoum, and also revealed a wonderful message of hope and faith. I love angels as well, and can only understand your attraction to their soothing and uplifting energies. it is wonderful to see that you seem to be so connected to angels, and maybe there are even some angels on earth who surround you and spread their love on you ...
    at least this is what I understood from reading the heartfelt comments of the members of your "fan-club" ...
    I truly enjoyed the simplicity of your truthful and faithful words in this poem, they go directly to the heart ...
    thank you so much for such a precious gift.
    much love,

    maa

    Well done. You handled this challenge well. There is a nice flow here. On the personal note, would rather have you as my friend than my flirt. For flirts fade away, friends last. Or at least mine do. So I embrace you and call you my friend. You mean the world to me. A friend is gods angel. Dawn
