Raven EyesWhen I take off as a raven,
the branch wobbles
my dark figure melts into the night.
No pack, no company
aside from the starlights—
they were once
alive, but now all there’s left are
fragments of tears from
somewhere above, is it heaven?
I wouldn’t know.
Wearing shadow of night itself,
I glide through the air.
Beneath me, a city in neon fire.
Cars rush below—
one place...

Step Stance
Dark chest
inhale your bite
exhale its shadow
wings that twisted pierce
like barbwire
cover your heart
black feet on glass
I watch my spine
still touch me
A raven cries
give me my nights,
give me my nights,

This Sceptred Isle
In 1773 the sun never set
on the British Empire so goes the story
now the 'Teatime Islands'
crumbs of Great Britain’s former glory
but as the moon rose over the White Cliffs of Dover
standing guard at the Gateway to England
ramparts the enemy to forestall
if the ravens left the Tower of London
the kingdom itself then would fall
and Britain would...

Bright Angel TrailMy knee was a cracked hinge,
each step a bargain struck with pain.
The canyon walls pressed in,
heat still rising from the stone
long after sun left it behind.
Halfway to the distant rim,
I flopped down on the trailside bench—
the slats grabbed hold of my full weight
as if they meant to keep me.
And then I was above it all—
a...

Winding Way IBlack crow flying
Low stalling
Wise too in caution taking
Know’s a fool would not last as long.
Winding way I calls him
Not one to fly straight lines
Curious, attention-deficited
Following ‘what’s that’, as a worthy lifeline.
Fence siting… I know not
For staying is not his calling card
God only knows all he’s truly seen
A loner looking… perhaps returning tomorrow.
I’ll wait and...

Revenge of The Raven - POTD“I like my lover's heart blackened with a deeper shade of darkness, where the ravens and I can rest in peace.” Ann Marie Eleazer
She had her potions ready, plus an arrow etched with runes.
Stygian mists swirled all around, yet she had perfect aim.
Into the dark forest she went and spotted the raven.
A...

Mister Ravenmister raven, i implore

flowers always bloom in spring
be not black and be not blue

Bird BrainThey tied him snugly in a noose,
and called him names to cook his goose -
chicken-hearted, bird-brained, craven.
He'd mistook a crow for a raven,
which was a crime, although
he knew a grackle from a crow.

up above
i know what you're thinking of
i've seen you before
perched up high
you only stare
every time
in my nightmare
i see you once more
now
a crafty knight does wield
a blow
which evades my shield
you know what's in store
blood is rushing
darkness looms
all that's left to see
is gloom
i am on all fours
I clasp my hands in prayer
and cry
as you wait...

A Raven PondersA black bird ponders. Wind suddenly blows.
Below on the ground, autumn leaves swirl.
She gave him a letter. He gave a rose.
A raven has all the time in the world....

Voices from the Field"I reflect the colors of the sun so high",
said the beautiful butterfly,
"And I am nature's fragrant perfume",
said a flower from the field in bloom.
A sliced open knight said, "I'm a treat.
For God's ravens, I am meat."

no turn offsshe born
without determinating
answer early morning let downs
chasing down
generations of pity
kid hangs out to learn with me
tasking,tainted towels
she lite, ask bite
next day, same height
knews flew up through
her at a frame
unpainted suits, remain
inner prisoners
she bleeds harmony scars
spoons in mixtures
confluence
unoptions ate it...

Raven
You are not a bird, nor a character in X-Men
Yet a precious gift from heaven above
With almond eyes, pink lips and fair skin
You are a masterpiece the Potter created
Exceptionally gifted, radiant, and true
You brighten our days in all that you do
No joy compares to having you around.
A wonder crafted with endless love....
