Ravens and Crows

Go hand in hand

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Graves crumble in the night

The moon opaque behind the clouds

Weeds sway in the breeze

 

Ravens and Crows

Shining eyes

Shimering wings

 

The sky calls me

The ground claims me

My life nowhere

 

The faded writing

Stares into my eyes and soul

My black dress tearing

 

I bare all as my love claims me

On the cold hard ground

Nothing is the same

 

My life slowly ebbs away

As the Ravens take flight

but all remains the same

 

As the Crows stay

Author's Note

This poem isn't nessicarily about Angels, even though the picture may indicate it is. Also it might help if I mention that Ravens = Death and Crows = life, it might make more sense for some people that way

I immediately thought of "Blackbirds" by Linkin Park when I read the title. It kind of takes that tone as the song does. I'm not saying it's a song reference (and I'm glad it's not Kesha I'm thinking about this time, because this song is actually pretty good) I'm just saying that it takes the same tone of the song. Your last four lines are incredible. I can't stop looking at them. This one really blew me away. Good job.

Great poem but I would change the raven thing a little. You can't tell if their coming or going.

Thanks for sharing.
