Beckoning the Raven

crystal lament

Its times like now,    Alone in the shade

All couth is feasting on my frowning and dismay

As I sit by my lonesome crowded mid-West

A heartbeat a smile a gentle caress,

Intangibles of acceptance of ease of rest

Longing for embrace I chase with the best

 

 

My heart is throbbing sometimes in sometimes out

You are fixed in site in distance in memory and distress

The surging of mood can cause me much bout

Knowing you are here though I’m thinking quite less

 

In the presence of resonance I vibrate in tune

My trunk is still leaning, she tutors my topiary

In lusting and thrusting she’s willing my harpoon

Limbs cast shadows over new found leaves of liberty

Soft bodies do justice and let evil eyes swoon

In the abyss of darkness she carries a light

I’m but a moth dismissing the night

For giving myself, for breathing another sight

Foreshadows of chaos only make sacred my plight

 

 

When I rise with haste and scurry away

My maiden is waiting and waiting to replay

The tune once heard before the nightingales’ call

Before the mocking birds reminded me from which heights I did fall

 

Proximity and temptation so conveniently placed

Would not I have been more True, more Loyal about-face

Let me wither in silence with the tapping of Ravens

If only Poe told me true meaning of dear Eleanor

Every breeze that blew by would not seem safe havens

I would have you by my side to ground me Evermore

I loved the variance throughout in rhyming, I had to read it a second time to fully appreciate the piece. The last stanza is wondrous and not just because I am a fan of Poe! Excellent work, truly.

I guess I also really want to praise you for the WAY you make things rhyme and the words you choose, you do a damn good job of it. It makes me want to get back into rhyming and intimidates me all at the same time. Remarkable!

[Sethnicity]

thank you so much for enjoying and being inspired by my write. I enjoy rhyming and it comes naturally so i try not to take it for granted. I've actually been reading you recently and appreciate the lingering lines of colorful arrangements you create as well. stop by whenever you like!

[Alexandria Reece]

I will certainly be stopping by again, you're excellent with the pen and keys :)

[Alexandria Reece]

And thank you!

I know you are hitched now but do you still write erotica?

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

Yeah I do I've just not really been posting much of my stuff due to that troll who tried to slander my name but through that experience I learned about some plagiarizers stealing my work so I have become leery of posting my work ... I may self publish a book of poetry when I have time but I doubt anyone would buy it lol I would be publishing it to more protect my work

[Sethnicity]

I would BUY it so you need to let me know!
KIT
Maybe we can both get published someday...

Your reflective, poetic style is most enjoyable. A wonderful write. Love all of your Poe references; they fit seemlessly into the piece

[Cassie Fraga]

WOW!!! I appreciate such depth... you have told a very touching poetic story... can really feel the emotion in the lines, and your word play is AMAZING my friend!!
great... great job!!
**tips my lyrical wand to you**

P.S - I have not forgotten about our collab. I just been really busy with life and work at the moment so after I catch up on all my RR's I will send you something!!

[ghost writer]

your words have weight and depth of meaning..caressing the senses with emotions and beauty ..as you touch the inner sanctum of poetic love and instinctly in feel your words..

[Poetic Beauty]

many times we sit and think about things we have done and how the outcome could have been different. This is worded wisely and done with a sad beauty

[Cherrie Palmer]

..Would not I have been more true more loyal about face...the selection of font, style and rhyme they are all outstanding and make a perfect blending.
