Dimples dance in her chocolate cheeks
Angelic hands flow so tan and gracefully
Neon nemesias around ankles at feet
Cherry lips laugh a silver soprano treat
Ebony hair with onyx pearls for eyes
Mahogany wings that match brown thighs
Uniquely gifted to grant whimsical words
Sonnets so inspiring flying me like bird
Elegant muse many hearts you’ve stirred
She was not a saint, she was not an angel
She was my sister,
She was a mother,
a grandmother,
a cousin and an aunt.
She was loved by us all
and also by others.
She was not a saint, she was not an angel.
God will decide on that,
but she was saintly, and she was angelic
and will always be remembered as that.
"A life of no consequence.
Failed odyssey".
Except in other men's eyes!
Wing down whose true light from out;
Judgement's highest.
"None made gladder or better
For knowing me".
Twisted facts put right by them!
O'er Love's spread grain, hid, hushed up
Who cheer loudest.
Satin sheets and pillowcases
Indigo images in mind races
Made my blue bed so in it I lay
Pleased to be ahead of red rat race
Lullaby sweet like licorice stick
I’ll dream sweet of angelic kiss
Cinnamon scented candle soothes
I wear your shirt when I miss you
Though we’re apart I carry you within
You are my heart and best friend
Winter will be over soon,
with a pretty spring full moon.
Birds will be singing to a musical tune,
as angelic butterflies come out of their cocoon.
In a big garden tall and straight I stand,
waiting for the flowers to bloom so it will be grand.
In this fertile land,
a lonely weed is now my new brand.
I need to watch out for the hand,
going to the trash can will be their command.
Earth, somewhat of Heaven
For loving thought
As a sweet angelic influence
O'ershadowed is;
Our beloved, close behind
As what trails for.
If but of its angel's wing detached.
What blows for this.
swallowtail was sent by my spirit guides
she flitted and fluttered from lily to roses
flirting with every blossom in the garden
I could see her aura, and knew she was angelic
being clairaudient, I could hear her heartbeat
she was proof of life beyond the physical realm
Saintly in nature
Idealistic in approach
Truthful to the core
Angelic in appearance
ANGELIC WHISPERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the night air trembles
angelic whispers--pure, clear
language of spirit
wings outstretched, they fly
across the starry expanse
free, unbound—their flight
graceful reflection
of divine and infinite
glimpse of heaven's gate
in their winged presence,
time stands still--all is made new
the Eternal now
Angelic Sulphur
Angelic sulphur streaming downward on a glistening ray of light
Essence of daybreak imbues a radiant effigy of hope
Culmination of atmospheric shimmering and sky bound illuminations leave me in awe of such blue yonder
Firmaments of peace lay beneath the majesty of a fig tree
And a brimming overwhelm captures my soul as the beauty borders on profound
My communion with the breaking sunlight has left me with a fervour
For all the compliments that natural beauty simply cannot be found in mankind
Reluctantly my soul and I depart and head back toward the bleak cityscape
Thunderous clouds of polllution illustrate my growing unease
Another burden appears as the skyline quickens with buildings
And the angelic memories from the morning light persist as if telling me there is a home beyond this man made abomination
Virtuous she is, the strength she holds,
Erratic she be, but beautiful is thee,
Ravishing art thee, she is a dream,
Opportune you shall scin, you’ll be;
Neat till death do us part, mi amor
Idyllic she be, like no other,
Contagious her smile be, beautiful is thee,
Angelic her beauty, like no other.

Angel Reese plays basketball for the Chicago Sky
She talks trash like an overwrought magpie
The media compares her to the great Caitlin Clark
~ though almost all Angel’s shots miss their mark
The seeds of love I sow in my malachite meadow
Enthralled, they sprout with the emerald shine bright
Design the cradle of saplings for the rose buds to glow
Nascent sunburst sky paints my dulcet dawn of delight
Transfixes the dew diadem on jade grass in pearly show
Shaping my dreams where as an angel I see you alight
