Hallowed Dawn

An empty poets soul has dimmed. With after glow his poem is trimmed. A feathered brain of craven caw. With only raven black he saw. An epic presence never told. A will that has been bought and sold. Shaded glory towards the night. An empty heart against the blight. Horizons pasted on the page. Only leaving stains of age. Seven days a week unspoken. Counted for the meek and broken. Forever tomes in endless ink. Disappearing in a blink. Unbeknownst to shrouded havens. Left only to the blackened ravens.

wow, this is a deep one. It makes me think you are writing for Poe. A tribute for him. Great meter in this one as well. Thanks for letting me know you had it here!

The flow was perfect and the poem took on an air of surreal with a subtle flavor of Poe running through it. Well done. Emile. #7
