Saved By An Angel
64This is not my poem; I am merely the messenger. I am acting as a liaison between a poet, who chooses to be faceless, and his angel, who must remain nameless. Its so romantic and tragic; it just kills me. So without further adieu, I present his poem:
I remember long ago,
a rainy afternoon and a day away from school,
you walked into my life with a snide remark,
and a quick smile.
My breath stopped the moment I saw you.
we danced a dance of words,
but never of hearts,
we missed out on a rare opportunity,
to love one another unreservedly.
We missed out on all of the passion
we shared for one another because we
did not take the time to care not for
what others thought of us.
Now we have met again.
You found me on a stormy shore
where I lay lonely and cold.
You breathed life into a lifeless soul,
and warmed me with your heart.
I love you still my one true love,
even though we must never intertwine.
Our lives are now separate,
you have a spouse,
and I have mine.
We can now only live out our love
within our dreams.
A fantasy never to be realized.
I missed you so,
and now miss you more.
You have brought me back
from the dead.
My angel.

I know, it makes me so sad. But many good poems come from pain.
Ohhhh. How horrible! What a lovely poem. Yes, it is heartbreaking to the extreme. Thanks for sharing. So do you think she'll know it's for her?
Wow! So romantic and divine! I love it.
FB, I hope he tells her where to find it. I guess we'll know if she ever leaves a comment here.
Shame, Thanks for dropping by. I'll pass your "wow" along to the author.
A lovely work of pain, joy and hope. Thank you and the poet for sharing.
This is painful and beautiful all in one! A lovely reflection in itself. Thank you for sharing it. I hope it finds the intended eyes.
It has found me, and I am touched by it beyond words... somethings r worth just having as memories, but this, I will have 4ever!!!
Hi Tom. You see hope here? I think I missed it.
Look Invictus, it did find the intended eyes.
Hi BC. Ya, I like it too.
Oh there she is! I'm glad you found your poem; you are immortalized now. :)
I can not even put into words, how It made me feel.. it brought tears of saddness, and tears of joy, but I know that I have my best friend, again, and that alone, is enough, and will have to b...
You've been reading my diary again Randy!! This is the lives of many. The heart never forgets!
How beautiful, such passion, thanks for being the messenger.
amazing! I actually have one of my own! we live across the country from each other, always in love, always missing. thank you for sharing...
Sometimes the passion unrealized and unfulfilled is better than the reality might ever be. I love this poem. It makes me want to cry.
Beautiful, purely beautiful. Remind me so much of Lord Byron's poem 'When we two are parted.' -sigh- Thank you for sharing this, Randy.
Oh ladies, Angel, the intended, Candie, Hawkes, Gypsy, Disturbia and AIDY I think we were all touched by his poem. Not just his words but the sad story it self. I wish I could pen a happy ending for them.
Very beautiful...I believe he has touched many with this lovely poem. I can see that many of us have a special person in our lives of whom we could miss in ths way. I hope he has the opportunity to contact her personnally to catch up! This was great of you, Randy, to display this for him.
Wow! I'm impressed. First time I've been to your site, but not the last. I love poetry and this was awesome.Thanks
This is a great one...totally emotional...:(
Invictus, yes I can see that he's touched many. Common theme I guess. It touched me, so I had to publish it... o.k. that's a lie. He's a poet and I can't say no to a poet. Lol.
alekhouse, Glad you came by even though this isn't one of my pieces, I'm glad you like it.
Uriel, It really got to me too.
I would like to thank every one that has posted and shared our moment of love and pain.
Randy; your soul are as beautiful as your poetry, thankyou for posting this for us.
To my Angel; thank you for still loving me even after all these years. You found me, I live once again.
Yes, thank you, Randy for posting this for us... It will be something that I will ALWAYS be able to have.
The Poet, thank you for writing this and for loving me, still, after ALL these years, I too, feel alive, and as for the "happy" ending, it is just this, we will always be friends, and I will always have the beautiful memories, now this beautiful poem... Thank you.
very interesting
Forever is fleeting and takes many forms, doesn't it?
Interesting Brenda?
Ah Jeff, "forever is fleeting," I love that! Mine certainly is.
Beautiful Poem
I'm glad you like it Mystic.
Wow, this really is a beautiful and powerful form of poem.
May, thanks for stopping by. I think he's touched a lot of people with this words.
He sure has touched my heart! Now, is he still single? hehe j/k
Alas May, he's married. The good ones always are.
It is beautiful yet tragic all in one....xo
Blonde, that's exactly how I feel about it.
Feel the menancholy, thats what wrinting makes us. It makes us feel. Commendable, nice and poetic.
Beautiful poem. Happy endings are relative. I would say the poem is tragic however, he seems to have found new life in his angel even if he is separated from her. So perhaps it is not so tragic after all. I would call it bitter-sweet.
rajpravin431, I'm glad you enjoyed his poem; poetry can definitely be a melancholy thing!
Thanks for your comments Moyra. It sounds like they are going to be lifelong friends at least.
There is nothing to be added here, but I have to wonder...if we could actually come to grips with the fact that 'this is our only life and time is limited, would we still squander the moments we have to conceal the lies that hold us prisoner'.
Oh Paris, I often wonder if I'll look back at my life and scorn myself for being a coward. Although I have left my latest prison.
i had to come again and read this over and over again. Surprisingly it shook me harder and throw a huge bundle of feeling and emotions that i hadn't felt in a while. The work and feeling put into this poem is breathtaking. AMAZING!!!!
Uriel I'll convey your "amazing" to the author :)
Randy, you have given not only the two involved but also the rest of us a very great experience. To the poet, you have written feelings that are felt by many and put them to read. To console ourselves, to let us know we are aren't alone and shouldn't feel shame for feelings that linger for that one true love. Thank you for clearing my conscious and allowing me to enjoy the feelings I have. To Angel, thank you for coming and writing a lovely message back. I read the poem and teared up. Then I read Randy's, The Poet's, and Angels comments and I received a feeling of warmth. Thank you, all three, for sharing such a heart felt experience.
Thanks for coming by and commenting Crickette. I will pass your sweet sentiments on to the author.
Painful and beautiful.
Thanks for coming by deedeelaw.
So very sad yet romantic and poignant too. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment poetvix. :)
Very nice !
I'll pass your message on to the actual author :)
Dear heart, I've said it elsewhere and after reading this I have to say it again here: God bless you and keep you in his hands.
I am not sure what I did here to serve such praise. But I'll take it.
I'd like to add you as a guardian angel
Can you wait till I get my wings back from the cleaners?
Awesome hub and brilliant as ever. You really put everything into your writing. You are the real deal!
I can't take credit for this one. I posted this for a friend hubber who could not publish it under his real name. Its here for he and she.
