Angel
an angel disguised as a devil
that's how you described me
I turn that over in my mind
let it sink in and touch my soul
I want to lick your intellect
wait, is that the devil or me?
the demon for so long protected me
he stepped up and spoke for me
I whisper it's okay
she means me no harm
take a step back and let me handle this
these mixed feeling wash over me
feelings of desire for who a woman?
yes, I have them...
it's the ladies who touch me skin deep
but you see I have issue with this
I'm not pretty enough for a woman
no, not anymore...
I was once but that was a long time ago
when my beauty fade it was fast
a cactus flower bloom and in a night's time gone
I have to remind myself when I think to flirt
you're not beautiful anymore...
they won't see you in that light
so step back...
get in control of your feelings
hug yourself, tight woman, it will be alright
lady love maybe once when I was young
sadly for me, I hadn't yet reconciled these emotions
you said I was an angel disguised as a devil
you are the type of woman who moves me
I am a devil who learned to be an angel
I earned my wings...
when I fell from great heights
to crash into the Earth to find I'm mortal
just a woman who desires a lady
a wish and there it ends
a dream dying a lonely death inside

Is that you sweet one? You are a gorgeous woman, very desirable. Don't forget that it's our minds that dictate mainly who we are. Just take a look at my avatar and you'll see a troll. Lol. Beautiful write. Beautiful woman. Love and hugs J

You are very wrong in not seeing your beauty. We have this problem when we age, because we change and we don't recognise ourselves anymore. But remember we can take on any younger person because we have gained one thing they don't have: experience. We know where and how to touch. Body, mind and soul. Youngsters, with all do respects, can only imagine. That's why younger women prefer older men and younger men older women. But I prefer a woman that can blow my mind. Usually women my age know exactly what I like and don't have stupid inhibitions. You are truly beautiful. Love you always sweet one. J

I have and will always think of you as a beautiful Dark Angel. Not all angels are meant to be frilly and all softness. We need the angels who know the alleys and dark passages of hell intimately enough to show us the way out. Or to be comfortable just sitting in the darkness with us. How can there not be beauty in such an angel? I think you're looking through eyes clouded by self-doubt. You are pretty enough for anyone...man or woman, my beautiful Dark Angel. I love you...
...ever your Willow

I don't see angelic beings (be they fallen or not) as negative energies.
Based on what I've read
spilled from Your heart,
You are Beautiful Energy

"I am a devil who learned to be an angel
I earned my wings...
when I fell from great heights
to crash into the Earth to find I'm mortal"
... that sums it up for me in this poem; it ain't where we came from - it's how we come to terms with where we are now.

This is a really wonderful and revealing piece of poetry Brenda bravo👏👏
I struggled with body dysmorphia for a long time when I was younger and it took a while for me to realize that real beauty is within
"I earned my wings...
when I fell from great heights
to crash into the Earth to find I'm mortal" 👏👏the amazing poetry you produce be it light or dark is truly beautiful just as your energy is I can see you write from the heart and I can feel it which always drives me to read your pieces which I always enjoy.
Excellent writing as always Brenda👏👏✌

You're radiant in the picture Brenda, and I suspect in real life. Just a photo, though. It's your work that captures the soul I have come to know here, and adore.

Crimmy!! Oh my gosh! I was wondering if that was you!! You're beautiful, my friend!!
And you're still beautiful!!
Awesome! It's soooo good to see you.
And you're even more beautiful inside, which is the best!
Oh, and your poem is wonderfully authentic, and beautifully written.
Didn't think I could love you any more, but you proved me wrong again!
Love,
Matthew.
Gotta keep that one with Dearest Crimmy on there!

Always revealing and insightful meditations. And remember beauty can never compete with a truly decadent mind (which clearly, you possess).

Wow....I felt that...I do remember you.
Your beauty
is the essence you bleed
the ambience of your aura
that makes me gravitate to you
that soothes
my magnetism
You gorgeous flame.
