So i read my Dark Angel Series poems to my husband, and i was trying to explain to him the character behind the dark angel.  She's a woman who's been broken down time and time again.  And although she's told repeatedly how beautiful she is, she doesn't see it.  All she sees is a broken woman, who's scared to trust, afraid of being hurt.  So i wrote yet another DARK ANGEL poem, only this one describes her.  ENJOY!

THE DARK ANGEL

10-15-07

Lovely as an angel

She hears them say

Face of a beauty

With a life in disarray.

They don't see

As green eyes hide

The pain she feels

Tears welling inside.

They don't hear

As she cries in the night

They're not there

To watch her fight.

A beautiful angel on the outside

Is all they see

A sad broken girl

Is all she manages to be.

Afraid of being hurt

She keeps her heart locked away

Refuses to let others in

To their dismay.

Her cries in the night

Go unheard

Calling her an angel

She believes is absurd.

She's not their angel

Her soul dark & bleeding

Her sorrow sings

Pain she feels late this evening

She's the angel of the dark

The angel of night

She is the dark angel

Beginning tonight.

The Dark Angel has become my favorite character, by FAR that i have written about, (and believe me, i've wrote a LOT of stories (back in highschool) and poems about different characters.  She even beats the characters in my two novels that i'm working on & the Princess in my children's book. Maybe it's because I realate to her so much, maybe it's because subconsiously she is me.  Either way, I love the Dark Angel.  So I've decided to continue on in my Dark Angel poem series, but before I write another poem, i thought i'd repost the first two, so that anyone who missed the first two can catch up on the DARK ANGEL.  So here they are, the other two poems in my DARK ANGEL series:

DARK ANGEL FLY INTO THE NIGHT

10-14-07

Last time I wrote about you

I said I wanted Vengeance

The dark angel would get you

Watch you bleed to your slow eternal death.

Anger now surpassed

Pain washed away.

This dark angel didn't forget what you did

I'm just no longer holding on to it.

I'm over you

I'm over everything you did

It's not worth dragging me down

For piece of shit like you.

You ask about the memories

Maybe there was some good ones

But you ruined them

With all your evil.

The devil lives inside you

Waiting to come out.

You tried to make me your prey

But capturing this dark angel you will not.

It's over

It's done

I found peace

This dark angel will no longer run.

Then vengeance I once sought for

Maybe I didn't find

But peace I did

Into the night

This dark angel now will fly.

THE DARK ANGEL SINGS

10-15-07

The dark angel opens her eyes

Looking around

She sees the pain in the night.

The dark angel spreads her wings

Wanting to help

With the power she sings.

Her words of sorrow

Speak to those

Looking for love in the pane glass window.

The dark angels eyes

Full of pain

Sees the others cry.

Wanting to assist those in pain

Her words come out louder

Trying to sing over the pounding rain.

The dark angel's eyes well with tears

From the pain she's felt

For the past four years.

Feel her mounting pain

See it in her eyes

Her blood left it's stain.

Once again she spreads her wings

Mounting with sorrow

The dark angel sings.
