Sleep Little Angel

Within your smile, Fates hid ends eyes cannot see. The false set of your lips, The angel mourning 'till asleep. Weep no more. Angel, just dream. Lie your head down, Listen to the clear blue stream. Dont pry at your wounds. Angel ,you may permenantly scar. Always keep to heart, I shall never be far. Sleep little angel. Sweet dreams as well. Close your tired eyes, Untill morning, Farewell.

You paint a vivid image of the sleeping "angel," touched by sadness. I see a mother talking to a child, but this can truly be viewed from many perspective. I'm glad you posted this poem! Love, Carolyn

sometimes poems are too good to comment on without fear I'd be adding unnecessary critiquing. sometimes it's better to just give an indicator that it's been read (and very well received) and just leave it at that. -Yoni

Thirteen? Thirteen, and such a talent you have! "Listen to the clear blue stream?" Wherever did you get this? It's so original in the way it fits in. Keep going and don't stop! I will read. Love, daver
