Angel Of Hope
Eyes swelled up from lack of sleep
Hear a strange knock at the door
Trip from yesterday's red wine
Awaking from off the floor
Never saw this man before
Friendly to the eyes he seems
An angel maybe of mine
But never saw in my dreams
These thoughts on paper I pen
Asking if he'd like a drink
Feeling a peace deep within
Jotting with angelic ink
With him I felt real secure
He had such a smiling face
A glimmer of light so pure
As my eyes began to trace
And whoever knew this man
Felt he was special inside
He blew away clouds of grey
Right before my very eyes
Sailing upon salty seas
Hearing waves crash poetry
As tides turn beneath my sighs
I felt him always near me
Everyday I see His eyes
Like an angel's pure beauty
Thoughts I pen are from within
You're my angel set me free
Author notes
This piece was contest inspired, and I thought I'd post it on my main page, but it really sucks though, lol... Penned after hearing one of Sheryl Crow's songs: Everday Is A Winding Road.
Seeing the woman's side of the song, yuck! LOL! -Timothy

Glad you all liked this, I have changed a bit since I first wrote it though! Thanks for reading me, I appreciate you all!
-
This is great because I love uplifting words, I'm glad you're one of the positive poets and sharing your love with us all. Yeah ok yuck, it's your poems fault!! lol

I had to read this a couple of times, cos after reading it and then seeing your author's comments, I had to change my thinking a little in what it was about LOL...and I'm not blonde, so what do I get to use for an excuse??? LOL...should I admit to what I first thought this was about?? LOL I thought it was of your muse visiting you whilst in a dream state, to keep you writing, which I thought was a very interesting concept....BUT, I think it's very courageous for a man to try and see a song's lyrics or verse from a woman's perspective...SO, any way you read this...it is simply GREAT!!!

Beautifully Penned
Once Again
My forever-timeless friend
You sing your love songs
So true within those angel eyes
Of you
You're my angel, set me free...
You are one in all our hearts
You’re beyond the quicksand of time
Forever remember
The reason of the rhyme
You are one within
Divine love
You see and weave all of us
Unto your oceans of dreams
Within you
And all of us as we

mmm Hmm.. I know a man just like this... He brightens every dreary day, pushes clouds away so the sun can shine down, fills my heart with pure joy, shares his love with me, makes me smile..even when I'm down, means the world and so much more to me... I cherish him. This man I speak of, is you, Timothy.
I loved this write... The man you spoke of, are some of the thoughts I think of you.... You're a blessing to me, and I love you for being you, Timothy!
Everyday I see your eyes
As you stare at me with beauty
These thoughts I pen, are from within
You're my angel, set me free...
Love you bunches, Timothy!!

Thanks For Reading Me!

And thanks for reading me!
Much love always!

LOL...actually "cuz we can kinda like, can be like air-headed at times!" was not something you were supposed to put in your author comments. It was just me making fun of valley girls and my own blonde moments. Sorry if you misunderstood! Anyway, back to the piece. I found this very intriguing. It's apparent that you dug deep and were truly inspired by this song. Great job.

Wow interesting, and very well written, I love the bground! it just adds some kind of serene calm to the piece. Excellent write. Good Luck
