The Touch Of Blood And Roses
The angels sing my name divine
Blood runs through his veins like wine
As an angel throws a flowered vine
Petals falling, red and velvet
As the dark spirit puts on a helmet
The vine for my heart to grasp
As I clasp in hope and love
My angel sings my name above
Divinity, has opened its doors
As my mermaid swims the shores
His voice unwelcomed...
Invited hate into the deep cavern
He touched that spot covered
By life's struggles and huddles
The touch of roses as they fall
As an angel sings my name
On earth and in divinity I claim
Let no man know my place
No part of his game I seek
Now in the deep cavern
Standing atop with a sword
Blood and the touch of roses
My mermaid swims around
My heart has seen the last clown
She smiles and says you deserve
Alas, my angel chants my name
Atop the deep cavern with sword to game
Down below in a death trap, dark spirit dies
With every thrust of my heart, my heart flies
Max tells me to seek the Lord, first!
As I stand upon the dark cavern with a sword
I soon become another Lord....
Down below his formless spirit lay
He's been informed, I did not want to play
As Max left and handed me the sword
I took one soul to the Lord!
Will they take me away?
She speaks divine, one angel sings
"It's only fair that you defend,
For your mind will never mend!"
Max, my angel who protects
As he speaks my soul reflects
What lay in a deep dark cavern
Known by a mermaid:
As she swims in rose petal magic
Known by an angel, who chants my name
Known by Max, my angel and protector
Who took the sword away...
Not to be used on another day
Blood and the touch of roses,
As petals fall and fall!
Red velvet touches the curse of death
As one dark spirit, took his last breath

OAND,
Who or what is this Max you refer to as your angel and protector? I was intrigued by this reading and have many questions. My understanding is that you stand on indecision of a relationship; family maybe and “others” have heavy influence in the choice that must be made. Not quite sure about the mermaids involvement, and memory that swims in your blood or rose petal magic. I need some explanation if you would be so kind …

I write poetry on several sites: Max is really my alter ego! I really
like the name Max, and I think we all have an angel who protects us.
I am one who loves religion and things that are surreal! I
do believe in God! I am not educated when it comes to the
bible, except the events that everyone knows about! Max is just
my favorite name, so I named my angel, Max! Max is also the
subject of many poems I have written on other sites! I write
on other sites as catchadream, Ty40, inagoldenplace, aridetoheaven!
and oldaspirationsneverdie...777! I love to write, I hope I can
retire in 5years and perhaps work just one or two days a month
and devote my time to writing and getting published! I believe
that I am going to sign up for a course on ministry and the bible!
I am not influenced by what others do or say, I am in my mid-fifties
and I've worked for many, many years and I thank God, I still
have a job to go to, as a year and a half ago my other place
of employment has closed! I am a very independent thinker
I don't like others influencing my decisions, I hope that the
Lord is there for me! In the poem, the character, not necessarily
myself, though, it is written in the first person--I am not necessarily
refering to myself! I want you to think now, have you ever seen
a spirit? I actually have experienced them, but Max helps the
character or myself if you like, to kill an evil spirit! It's just
a poem, that helps me feel that I have better control in my life
This poem has nothing to do with relationships, it is surreal:
with religious overtones, mermaids do not exist, angels for
myself do exist, but they are divine, as it is so nice to think
some of their angel dust has fallen on my soul and made
it divine. Now, I've said it! I hink rose petal magic refers
to the beauty in life: the power that mermaids and
angels have on our being, they know what I've done through
Max, but no one else knows about the death of this evil
spirit: this poem might be considered fantasy! I
hope it is enjoyable, perhaps it is one I need to rewrite!
I thank you very much for your responding for my poem
and their are some aspects that are entertaining and
worthy! Hope you like my response and that it opens
the door to this poem's redeeming qualities...
I see

Hello OAND ,
I appreciate your explanation, it all makes sense now. What caught my eye was the name Max. My oldest sons name is Max. If you go to my blog site ( address aboye) he is standing next to me in the pictures at the top of the page. I am also religious and have a strong faith in my higher power who I call God. Many of my poems have to do with my recovery and the faith and belief in my God. Good luck in your writing and keep the faith
Blessed be
Ron
