Red on Yellow Will kill an Angel

In the rarest quiet of my mind I think about you sweet Angel love... the maelstrom of users and abusers that splashed your wings with blood. Smeared coal dust under your pretty sad eyes rusted out the final diamond of your life. They say, your mind yearns to stray as you loyally drag it from the fire to save it from the serpents the hiss of their red and yellow lies. It's often said there's no escaping a past pocked with sinkholes filled with quicksand and glass . what of the future, that psychedelic maze with the slanted floors under thins veil of haze.. Juggling blowtorch pins with stained glass faith hoping to keep the soul bow a single gull note above the dorsal fin waves.

I like how your The poem explores themes of resilience and inner strength in the face of adversity. It grapples with the challenges of overcoming a traumatic past and navigating an uncertain future, symbolized by the metaphorical "psychedelic maze" and the juggling of "blowtorch pins" with "stained glass faith." Despite the turmoil, there is a sense of determination and hope as the speaker strives to keep the "bow of the soul" above the tumultuous waves of life.

Thanks for reading Silent one. I like your analysis of my poem more than I like the poem itself. Anthony
