Raven Hearted

Raven Hearted

A Poem by Deron Alexis

Raven hearted

We do feel love,

Like that which never ends.

And yes we hold hands.

And we would like to never let go.

She looks so sublime.

A dire, dark beauty.

Gravity and attraction,

In her black dress and lipstick.

 

But I know like she does,

What humans are inside.

Deeper than our hearts,

Wrapped in our very existence,

Sitting beside love,

And next to innovation,

Is a dark shadow.

A lust for what is wrong.

 

They try their best to hide it.

But when they miss a beat,

It shows its ugly head.

Sometimes sneaks

From behind the mask,

Spills their lies against them,

And shrouds the earth in smog.

A mask which in itself

Was forged by social bigots.

The fakest of the fake

Who had the wax

and porcelain to spare.

 

but a raven in flight

hath stolen both our hearts

and gave it to the other

so that when I met her

we knew the shadow

would not fight

being at peace with us

who accept our darker nature

just as it is written

all across her body

like a blackened work of art

raven in her hair

raven in our eyes

raven in our hearts

her wicked one sided smile

 

And where she walks

The raven goes

The moonbeam glows

And all hidden in lies

Are thus exposed

Her raven black eyes

See though their lies

And renders most masks obsolete

 

And so every time

I dare kiss her,

I’ll do it loudly.

Just to make her laugh

Her raven hearted laugh

In a sad shadow filled world .
