Poem #24: "You Are An Angel"

"You Are An Angel"

they say
you are an angel
you may not think it
but i've seen your
wings and how your love
radiates brightly from behind them

they say
that words are hurdles
but as if past traumas would just
never come alive again--
i've seen you stumble
on your own mental
punctuation

they say
"they've stolen your light"
like life and how it may leave soon
though i've seen your rugged body
but its age cannot erase the simply ageless
memory of your bright smile

i've seen you stumble
on your own mental
punctuation
but as you stumble you'd
always get up again, your eyes
releasing rivers of old words
suddenly oceans of past
traumas that welled up
the weight of two seas
suddenly gone, one for each
of your beautiful
eyes

they say
you are an angel
you may not think it
but i've seen how your perfect
love always outshines
all the pain and hurt you feel

i've seen you stumble
as your eyes
release oceans of old
words pent up --
your pain
would fall
as teardrops
down to the ground
below

if you feel the need
just spread your wings
and cry -- remember

the glistening leaves
down below
as they accept your love
will sprout
and grow
