The angel of darkness
Has lightened her wings
Now that she is happy again
Her black eyes turn to a sapphire blue
Rich in color and emotion
The black rags she once wore
Have been replaced
By a delicate black satin gown
Trimmed in silver stars
Flowing and swaying gracefully
In the evening breeze.
The dirt on her face
Has been washed away
And glitter has been applied
Making her sparkle
Like someone from a dream
Instead of the nightmare
She had just came from.
Determined she worked
To get out of that hell
Far too long she paced
Waiting and watching forever
But now it is all over
And there she stands
Beautiful and lovely
In the night
Now that she has
The one that
Truly Cares.
you really captured who she use to be and what she has become. i can clearly the beautiful black gown with silver and the glitter on her face and her sapphire blue eyes. it is such a beautiful vision. very well done! and i love how she became so beautiful because she found the one that truly cares. your poem is touching because it reaches an emotion of hope and happiness without having to write about that emotion directly. im waiting to be this beautiful angel of darkness that has had light shown upon her. it seems like now, instead of being forced to be in the dark, she chooses to be in light. very good. my new fav!
