Flows Of A Raven

You are my heroine, for all of time
the one for which heart's truth cannot hide.
I once wished that the sapphire beyond the clouds
could be tasted by my ignoble lips,
but with the flows of a raven's flight
that held the slender frame of divine sketches,
I saw your face, and at once sought nothing more.
As the mind of depth engraved upon me
for the trail of wisdoms tongue remained.
So today, as words we shared now part us,
I hold your lips in this most fierce embrace,
to bind the heart's, now of distance too great.
For I know that the ebony of your skin and
the chestnuts of your eyes will find me.
Tonight I will lay beneath the shards
of a jealous sky, to wait for you.

Author's Note

This was something of a parting gift for my (now ex) girlfriend, after she had to move up north.
Also, thank you Lynne, you really helped ease me through the pain afterwards.

This has to be the thank-you gift of all times, mainly because in its own way, it isn't a goodbye but a forever memory .. it's very beautiful in spite of it being veiled with sadness. My thoughts are that she'll hold these words in her heart for a long, long time, maybe forever, who knows.

Your words tenderly flow like raindrops... words aching to stay... to hold on. The love that would linger... like a kiss... You paint for us all a glimpse of your heart in that moment of a most painful goodbye... Brilliant, beautiful write...
