Dead Angel
Old castle... Cobwebs...
Silence... Dangerous call...
Peeling backs of old
Gargoyles and skeletons
I wandered all over the planet
to return under your roof
in a dead-end film
in de ja vu, where nothing is new
A dragonfly flutters its wings
Smell of blood in the corners and
faces of statues of the dead
with withered flowers
I am cold in the breeze
of a draft of broken years ...
I welcome the penetration
beyond the threshold is nothing
Old Castle, spiritual crown
He is not my friend,
And he is not my enemy
He's alive and I'm a dead angel
Silence... Dangerous call...
Peeling backs of old
Gargoyles and skeletons
I wandered all over the planet
to return under your roof
in a dead-end film

A dragonfly flutters its wings
Smell of blood in the corners and
faces of statues of the dead
with withered flowers
I am cold in the breeze
of a draft of broken years ...
I welcome the penetration
beyond the threshold is nothing
Old Castle, spiritual crown
He is not my friend,
And he is not my enemy
He's alive and I'm a dead angel

KX... you versatility in poetry is Exquisite. Your mystic powerful write has an aura of discernible darkness that can be felt with every descriptive verse. Your words shroud me with the dark cold shadows of this vivid write, I feel the whisper of death and it is chilling ...GOOSEBUMPS!!!!

Re: Re. Old Castle
I am so happy to shroud you in dark cold shadows and an aura of discernable darkness with this one. And feeling the whisper of death is even better. Okay, maybe that sounds bad but still you know what I mean. Thanks for the wonderful comment and compliment, FF. 💖 xo

I love a good ghost story especially a romanric one. I am sated with this piece. The mourning angel draped over the headstone is the one that makes me most sad. Brava, Kristina❣🌹😉

I love a romantic ghost story too and I am glad you feel sated. I actually recorded a reading of Ghostly Shadows I never posted because I know everyone is sick of those. lol (maybe I will) I thought that was the perfect picture for this one. Thanks for the comment, GW. 💖 xo

Definitely, although this is one of the least esoteric of some more recent stuff I have written but not posted since no one will probably understand it. lol And I really love that you feel it is one of the strongest dares, because I like strong dares. :p Thank you for the wonderful comment and compliment. 💖 xo

On the dark and gothic I know if I have your approval then it must be something, Adagio. Thanks for the comment, I am really glad I could make your tallow run red. 💖 xo

Terrific proportion of voice, meter, metaphor and emotional presence. It was lovely and soulful to read. Like my recent write, I feel like you experimented and arrived at another level of ability. 💖🎶🙏

I think your writing is always at another level of ability, Daniel. Regardless, I am over the moon to get any such comparison. As always, I really appreciate such meaningful feedback and I really love 'lovely and soulful'. Thank you for the wonderful comment and compliment. 💖 xo

It was my sincere pleasure. Easily the most fully dimensional write I perused in my walk down the updates page in works spanning the last few days. I concur with our colleagues in their favorable assessments.

Dear K,
Spooky! And heartbroken!
I’m of two minds with this terrific write. I’m reminded of the first scary movie I watched as a kid (Carrie) and the feeling of dread and frightful anticipation. Additionally, it recalled my first true heartbreak of having a hopeless crush on this boy in jr high who befriended me in hopes I’d play him up to another girl he liked. Each stanza of your write metaphors precisely the feeling of that crushing realization of always being the cute “nice girl” next door. Never the desirable femme fatale 😏.
I think I’ve blown this wildly away from your original meaning and context however, the reality of taking your reader through their paces is true art and a gift of talent to which I can only aspire. Excellent write. H🌷
P.S. I wish you a lovely and healthy New Year! Xx

Thank you so much for the comment and compliment, Honoria. I always love hearing your thoughts and interpretations. They are so insightful, there is definitely dread and frightful anticipation in my feelings that spawned this one. Actually my first true heartbreak is wrapped up in this as well, but it's all a long story. So in a lot of ways you were on target with my thoughts although there is some deviation as well but I love it when the reader can apply something to their own experiences instead of being completely literal. I am very logical minded and sometimes that steers me in a very literal direction. And I wish you knew how talented you are, but I guess everyone here will just have to keep telling you each time you post something until one day you realize it. 😘 And I am really humbled and honored by your beautiful comments about my writing.
Happy Holidays!, I hope you had a beautiful Christmas as well! XoxO💖

Beautiful and haunting. I feel this sentiment and I've lived it many times. It's beyond heartache.

I am really happy you found it beautiful and haunting; I love that description. Although I am sad that you have had to endure and live things that would make you feel this way also. Beyond heartache is the perfect interpretation. 💖 xo

One can almost feel the cold chilling the bones with this piece Kristina. Maybe it's the image you added to but it has that old-school black and white feel, pondering on love and death.
Nicely done.

Strange what we can find comfort in or decide to move into and call home. We think at times of the broken vessels that we've taken up residence in, haha, a broken vessel trying to shelter a broken vessel. Tight

Indeed it is, this poem was the result of a mix of seeking comfort and being in a very bad place. A broken vessel to shelter a broken vessel. So true. Tight. 💖 xo
