My Raven

You are my Raven in the shadows

the stars that set me aflame

You are the wind in my hair

your voice ...I cannot tame...

You are my dark angel

whispering of lust

My shadow in the moonlight

within you I trust...

 My blood flows through warm veins

once of cold ice~~My Raven

you are my arms of the night...

In the shadows of dreams

and passion of abyss~~

I hear you call my name

and I long for your kiss...

Blood roses and thorns

within my black leather vase~~

Come to me my Raven

to my bed of crimson lace...

Let me share my passion

my lipstick upon your face~~

Let me share my love

as our limbs doth embrace...

In the shaft of the moonlight

I see you appear~~

Mmm...It is you My Raven

You are finally here...

Incredibly well written.

From the first line to the last I was drawn in and could not take my eyes from the page. The raven is many things to many peoples, and the way you describe what it is to you is enchanting. A dark lover indeed.

In my opinion, the fifth stanza is the best. A longing call, an invocation, a heaving sigh, an invitation. To your muse. This is a call to a writer's muse, and a rather sultry one at that.

I enjoyed this immensely.

It was my pleasure.

[Coyote Poetry]

A amazing poem. I like the use of the raven. A bird of mystery. I like the gentle hope and desire in the words. Artwork was beautiful and a powerful tale in the excellent poem.

Thank you Coyote...so glad you enjoyed this one...yes Poe made the raven very popular ha:)

[Rita L. Sev]

A passionate piece, sort of the anti-Poe Raven, as yours is a vibrant love. Instead of "nevermore", your love is "finally here..." Nicely penned!

[SyberRose]

Thank you Rita dear...and for peeking in this evening...:)

I love the personification of "The Raven", and the way that you have dreamt it into being as both a harbinger of light and dark, love and shadow, because traditionally the poor Raven gets a bad rap it seems. Your imagery is fantastic...from "bed of crimson lace" to "limbs doth embrace" -- so many wonderfully rapturous pictures to choose from. This kept my heartbeat up as I read, and each stanza seemed to get stronger until the final crescendo "You are finally here...", which I think was a brilliant ending. So, nothing but praise for you on this one, my friend!

[SyberRose]

Thanks so much Sarah...and for that kind review...I'm happy you liked it...Rose:)

I love it, it's very dark in a way but it has a sensual feel. Assuming that's your painting, it is lovely. Great poem.

[SyberRose]

No i wish it were...but I thought it was lovely too...not sure who the artist is..thank you for peeking in...and im glad you enjoyed my poem:)
