Darling Angel, Farewell

by N J Thornton

Twilight grew closer,
As he muttered in her ear
The words of his heart.
ΓÇ£Catch this kiss in a platinum locket
And keep it next to your soul.ΓÇ¥
Holding the locket he kissed her
Blushed cheek and uttered,
ΓÇ£Let this sweet caress remind
You of my love always
And let this be the memory that
takes you home.ΓÇ¥
He placed it around her neck,
Just as she began to wake.
ΓÇ£Hush now, hear the angels
whisper your nameΓÇ¥ he spoke.
Her ice blue eyes flickered, and closed.
He held her hand tightly in his,
ΓÇ£Do rest in a gentle lullaby as they fly
You away to where you belong.ΓÇ¥
A tear shed his eye, and he leaned over
To settle one last kiss upon her cheek.
ΓÇ£Farewell my darling,
My angel.ΓÇ¥
