Fallen Angel by MySweetDarkness
The expectation is conformity
entrapment of my love affair with peace
Learned that angel does not equate to innocent
and the fallen may never be free…

Nice one, Brenda.
Such a lot in 25 words, ranging from entrapment, with all its associations, to dark angels.

Thank you for you comment Aprille. I think you have confused me with the Daydreamer of Soul Speak.
August 29th, 2012 at 7:25 AM
Wow, this is deep…have to reflect a while on the concept that ‘an angel does not equate to innocent.’

Thank you for taking the time to read Mary

“The expectation is conformity”
Too much angel and fallen for that! But the tone! Should I congratulate (my impulse) or grieve the loss of freedom?

It is a realization that things are not always as they seem. Thank you Susan <3

Thank you for your kind words Jae

The fallen may never be free – such a strong line.

We sometimes break away from tradition as a way of taking control of ourselves or our lives, but sometimes we may fall into the hands of something else that is controlling. Thank you for stopping by Kerry

I don’t believe all Angels are innocent either. Look at Lucifer. Very nice write.

Great point Bren! Thank you for stopping by!
Some of our mutual readers have been confusing the two of us, so I thought I’d post your link to clear up the confusion. I hope you don’t mind.

well done

Thank you! <3

I especially resonate with “my love affair with peace”. Beautiful.

Thank you Sherry!

Nice… that last line leaves a lasting impression.

As I read this, I heard a voice inside saying, “Yes. What she said.” What I say is, don’t give in or give up. Being thought of as angelic is not what it’s cracked up to be.

just lovin’ this, all the way. Last two lines blew me away.
August 29th, 2012 at 3:40 PM
Thanks Mark!

angel does not always mean a good thing….and the fallen not finding freedom is a harsh reality…..
August 29th, 2012 at 3:41 PM
Thank you for stopping by Brian!

Each will interpret this to reflect their own experiences. And why not? We are more more interesting because of our individuality. Our past has never gone completely.
August 29th, 2012 at 4:38 PM
Very true! Thank you!
August 29th, 2012 at 4:43 PM
Life is always equivocal–and your images to underline it here are adroit.
August 29th, 2012 at 5:01 PM
Thank you very much <3

… ‘and the fallen may never be free’ ~~ makes for great poetry!

Thank you Helen

Oh, I’m glad you clarified about the daydreamer…I was thinking the same…I love your poem…so much in so few…the fallen angel portion is poignant.
August 30th, 2012 at 4:28 AM
Thank you Hannah!

Whoa! LOVED it! Esp. the lines, “Learned that angel does not equate to innocent
and the fallen may never be free…”
August 30th, 2012 at 4:29 AM
Thank you for stopping by!

love!

Thank you for the taking the time to read it! <3

This is tight and exquisite. Amazing, you throw one image and then twist it back on itself. Angels and the fallen are matters of perspective and you deal with that so well.
August 30th, 2012 at 4:44 AM
Thank you for your insight Carol! It is greatly appreciated!
August 30th, 2012 at 7:28 AM
Wow, I love the ending… I have to read it again

Lovely and dark, just the way I like it. A hint of Evanescence in it…

Sounds like we’re kindred spirits! Thank you Ritva!

The beginning just sucked me in. a beautiful (and a bit haunting) piece.
August 31st, 2012 at 4:36 PM
Thank you…

Nice work–a lot packed in these four lines. I’m glad you left a note at my place, or I would have missed reading this!

Thanks for reading!
