Ah what a sweet couple! LOL
Although the poem was not the gory visage I was expecting - a broken heart and lost love played within your words.

Hi Dean,

This poem is delicious in its darkness. Your presentation is amazing and your well chosen verbiage is superb. I wish I had a six to offer you. The picture is creepy but fits your theme perfectly. You have penned a lyrical rhyme and the flow is smooth. Well done...chey

The fallen are my favorite creatures of darkness,especially those dark seductive ones:)Angel Face pushed all the right buttons of me Dean, loved it...
I have a couple in my book, Incubus and Dark Delirium, below is the opening stanza of Incubus;

He is the master of seduction,
Hell bent on my destruction.
He's my sinful prize with midnight eyes,
I yearn for His corruption.

    Incubus...it sounds great, Hitcher. Is it a published work. If so, is it available here, on Fanstory? I'd certainly like to read it, it sounds like it's definitely in the same vein as my poem.

    Thanks for the wonderful review, as well as the heads-up on those two poems.

Not bad. Are you a Stephen King fan by chance? It would appear we have a similair thought towards angels and the like, but we handle it differently. Good job on the poem... nice and dark. :) SS

    Yes, I am a huge fan of King. I just finished his book, Stephen King: On Writing, a short time ago. Fantastic tool for aspiring writers, not just of the horror genre, but all genres.

    Thanks for your wonderful review!

    Not a King fan really, i aspire to Tolkien, Lewis and Bryan Davis myself. :-) Ss

Who said beauty was only skin deep? Mastering the power of the verb, like the use of Baptized ignites all kinds of imagery and emotion with the use of few words around it. But then you use, "My blood in you baptized." You create an original phrasing and unique imagery.

This is simply awesome. I love the presentation, and it flows perfectly. The last verse is my fav, very creepy. What about Guardian angels? I have a couple of those who have popped up here and there, but when I call upon them they're nowhere to be found.

Well, if that's an angel, I'm going to run at the first sign of feathers. I guess sometimes it pays very well to look a gift horse in the mouth ( popped into my head because angel face almost resembles a horse skull). Chilling piece, truly a blessing in disguise.

Great poem, D-Nuts. A near perfect flow, with a great rhyme scheme. I have been out of the loop for a while, My whole family was sick.

I don't have any sixes left. This is wonderful, Dean. Beautifully rhymed and flows as gently as a leaf in the current. Seduced by an angel in disguise or you as the fallen angel wearing the mask disguised. I can see it both ways. It is a wonderful poem. Sheryn :-)

    Thanks, Sheryn, and I'm very glad that you picked up on the dual meaning here. I'm very grateful...
