Mrs. Wrong…where’s my angel?

Angelic, Beauty
Mrs. Wrong…where’s my angel?

Where art thou, angel?

In the keep of angels,
perhaps this heart would yield itself true,
for all human trials have failed dismally,
with each heart bereft of all I know can be,
so when its time to commit, to invest,
well, there I stand, just me.

And love resounds in song and afferent breeze,
lilting sounds of heart’s desire,
and flesh is warm and passions high,
but living and sharing soon becomes a lie,
as wants change and far pastures plea,
for hearts to be released.

This cycle comes and goes, a bland recurrence,
and I caught by the heart’s flows and lows,
witness minds so flibbertigibbet,
they pain my waking hours with lies,
and hurt just turns to not caring,
for those lies so much despised.

Where art thou angel,
some heavenly visage with love’s sweet key,
to hold this wanting heart, and see,
to relish love’s potential seed,
and give me reason for this waiting,
this many times over aching, Mrs Wrong.

    Great verse, Tony. It is so frustrating when one cannot find the right love or cannot be right for one they want to be with. This poem is so emotional, so expressive of wanting and hoping. I feel the ache and loneliness. Well done.

    “flibbertigibbet”? I never heard that word before. How quaint.

      By the way Phyllis, why is the pic for this post small on the front page? Was it something I did?

        Tony, when I was in media I noticed there were two copies of that pic and you must have chosen the small one. But, the large one is on your post. You can go into edit on your post, click on media and delete the small pic. Then make sure your featured image is the large pic. Let me know if you need help with that.

        I am so glad you introduced flibbertigibbet, hopefully I can use it in a short story (if you don’t mind). How fun!

    I enjoyed this lyric. At one point your lines brought a tear when I started to think about my own personal relationships. Thank you. Jamie
