Her soul which shinned so bright had now gone away.
Does heaven await or maybe a different fate?
She sat and she waited until the sun could be seen and her eyes were no longer as dark as the sky.
She said " if an angel appears I shall kiss it with my last breath"
The wind whistled and the door creaked, yet still no angel lay at her feet.
A memory past and an image awakened,
when she had dared to ask she did receive
A lifetime of hate for a moment of greed.
Line 1 Her not He
Line 2 – it’s shined or shone – not shinned
Your end rhymes – aabcdefgff are in no pattern – you begin with a couplet and then no rhyming then a closing couplet. This might be alright if the lines were the same length and there were some meter, but here neither is the case.
Also I’m a bit unclear– is this woman now a ghost (her soul is gone) waiting for the angel of death? If so why doesn’t he put in an appearance? And why would the angel lie at her feet? Also what did she ask? And of whom? God? Satan? It’s all a bit murky.
I feel this poem has potential and with some editing could be improved upon. Keep at it!
