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.

Hmmmm.....I like this very much. The raven understands you. Is smart not to lecture or judge you. Knows your darkness and embraces it. Lets you fly with it. I really appreciate this idea of not denying our more blackened emotions but allowing them to transform us. We all have dark and light. Why hide it?

Love the message in this, lady.

[Frieda P]

This is really good. They say the Raven is one of the smartest of all the birds. They are mysterious. Edgar Allen Poe was right about them

[Frieda P]

Thanks, this is what I hear.
