Raven Bluff

Wrote this whilst listening to Ghost Song by Max Ablitzer, music included. Hope you enjoy the music as much as I did.

I flew with the dark raven

   for he was the only one

   who could taste or see

   such  insanely sweet madness in me

   he perched himself right astride

   without cawing a sound

   naught a lecture to take care

Mockingly looming overhead

   he stared me straight in the eye

So smooth and lovingly lush he sailed 

   soared within me to new heights

   before we burst into fluid flight 

I took him in languidly 

   hauntingly mysterious elixir

   a cryptic spirit unto himself

Cracked half a vitriolic sad smile

   whilst he prepared me for sin

Knocking back at my door

  to taunt me raving yet afresh

  he sing songs his intoxication into me,

  then takes me for a mystical rendezvous

  raven's song so tastefully contrived

              we sing together,

                           twisted in consumption

                                                   the dark raven in me

                                                                    never judges

Mystical, black ravens taking you out on ethereal dates and slowly embedding itself into your soul, becoming forever a part of you (hence the singing together in the end, and the dark raven IN you never judging). What a dark centerpiece for a love felt by a person trying to empty themself.. Well done.

[Frieda P]

You dug deep for this one Tai, always love to read your interpretations, glad you enjoyed this one...thanks so much.

Twisted in consumption. Been so long since i've read this. Miss you dearly friend. Hope all is well, happy 2017

The imagery I received from this was ethereal! I watched the flight. Stunning, dark, and beautiful. Masterful piece.

[Solilokiss]

I love the way you write, so dark and yet filled with sparkling light.

[Astro]

Interesting read, I like the avian descriptors and the expression of taste and savoring moments as much as another. Nice musical accompaniment too!

[Trace]

This has a dark, but somewhat erotic touch to it, These lines could mean so many things:
"soared within me to new heights
before we burst into fluid flight
I took him in languidly"
sounds like a beautifully exotic love scene.

Enjoyed this write. Trace

[Frieda P]

Thank you so much Trace, thrilled you read this one, it's my favorite....loving your interpretation.

This reminded me of a spirit guide. It guides us to places at times that we'd rather not visit. A raven isn't going to show you rainbows and light, your pick of animal is quite fitting.

[Frieda P]

Nope, no rainbows or unicorns here Anne, thanks so much...

[Rita L. Sev]

I feel like this is what Poe's Raven was doing just before going to perch atop that bust of Pallas... Dark and deep, with rich imagery, Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Wow Rita, thanks for that thought...glad you enjoyed.

[Pryde Foltz]

Lead us not into temptation, indeed. Brilliant Poe meets Frieda write.

[Frieda P]

Amen....thanks muchly Pryde.

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

Well, isn't this a pleasantly dark piece... it certainly spoke to my darker half. Excellent work as always, Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Sometimes you just gotta go dark, thanks Travis ;-)

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

That's my usual, or hopeless romantic. lol
