Beautiful Scars Poet Verse

Scar of a Fallen Angel

there is nothing more beautiful     
than the scar of a fallen angel- 
in broken ivory feathers cloaked,             
wrapped in a veil of mending sutures;                     
                  as she sits,              
her head down-                                   
         clenched fists...                           
awaiting someone to heal her wound                          
                         as she deserves

her honey-hazel eyes as frail as October,
barren skin iridescently tender,
an aria of her melody exclaims what
           she felt like that night-
the fear of falling unwillingly, 
the wonder of what will become of life,
                or death,
                            or both

though woe was worn and her heart torn,
she saw the ebullience in her wound-
the way her scar shined was a marvel,
a PERFECT flaw worn in the dark of night

                though she’s wounded in ways the
heavens cannot heal from afar-
         there’s nothing more lovely
                     than a fallen angel’s beautiful scar

Kai Michael Neumann February 10, 2018 at 2:19 AM Wow. That is awesome. Sad, like real life and yet hopeful. 'Scars of a fallen angel', 'ivory feathers', wrapped in mending sutures'. Great
