Angel Named Ben Poem by Hazel Durham

Angel Named Ben

Rating: 4.8


Deepest ocean like a wild, wayward child,
Tantrums unleashed, no mercy on a virgin beach,
The last take the director shouts 'Cut' calmness is within reach,
Of her need to teach her children the lessons she has learnt in life,

But to always remind them that the world is still a peach,
Juicy, ripe bursting with energy and zest,
Like the mighty waves on a virgin beach,
To enlighten them their journey will not be a test,

Her past hides in secret coves and sandy dunes,
Where overhead seagulls cries are heard and her inner screams,
She sings lonely ballads and lonely tunes,
Her suffering was a reality of coming from a broken home,

Where her heartbeats were always fast as she stood alone,
Silence was her writing a poem,
Emotions bleeding angrily from her pen,
Then she met an Angel his name is Ben,

His eyes adores her and his love admires her courage of surviving her broken past,
They sail on the deepest ocean with a steadfast mast,
To erase the horrors of her shocking past,
Love has entered and is winning across the finishing line faithfully fast.

I love reading a poem and coming across a line that stops me in my tracks, picks me up, and sets me down in a different place from my desk. And that is exactly what happened here- - - - - - Her past hides in secret coves and sandy dunes, Where overhead seagulls cries are heard - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Oh, well done, Hazel, your pen can sketch a scene without a bunch of gaudy words and phrases. You used simple words to sculpt the scene and blast if I don't hear those seagulls. Well-done! ! !

To die to the past if it has been annoying and live in the present is the only way to be happy in life! When a new journey is begun through a smooth road, why go back to rugged tracks already left behind! Again she needn't sing lonely tunes...... but joyful duets...! Beautiful transition from a sorry past to a merry present!

Fine and lofty rendition in verse with rhythmic splendour. Elegantly crafted in persuasive poetic expressions with artistic brilliance. Lovely and very passionate. Thanks for sharing Hazel.

Her past hides in secret coves and sandy dunes, Where overhead seagulls cries are heard and her inner screams, She sings lonely ballads and lonely tunes, Her suffering was a reality of coming from a broken home - that is a truly, beautifully, orchestrated verse which strikes a nerve with me, because that is me. well done; -)

I love my past, painful but nice, too high was its price, my present I cannot sacrifice, it's not too costly and it's pleasant and nice.
