Ravens Blood

Rescue my bleeding heart.
Assured I was doomed from the start.
Vultures are waiting for my demise.
Energy wasted so here are my goodbyes.
Nothing but black all around.
Surely no one will hear a sound.
Breathing is deep, I know what I must do.
Look into my soul, how could I be so blue?
Obscene images twirling through my mind.
Obscured visions of happiness are confined.
Darkness comes over me as I join them.

I had only read a couple of the poems and wanted so badly to enter but...too many things were going on and didn't get to. I knew Constance would have a time selecting her winners. There is a long list of winners here. You should be so proud of your winning poem congratulations Cami. Love, Carol
