Visitor
She waits by the lake
He returns
Unaware
She returns, into the depths
Dragging him along

There is something about her, a blazing fire in her eyes
O’er the distant mountains, her wicked sparks do fly
Standing atop the castle, sweet Raven on her arm
She glances back to find a man, she’s alluring with her charm
Coaxing him ever closer, she patiently waits to see
If, indeed, he is the one, she hopes he will be
The skies are burning brighter, her body stokes the flame
A vixen, flaxen hair of gold, is calling out his name
He dare not try to turn around, she has him in her hold
Nearing the edge, in the end, her flame returns to cold
Though fire burns and Raven caws, she feels no contrition
For they who have met their untimely death…
The Dominant, has conquered her submission

Hours, now spent, at the computer screen
Pounding the keyboard, to its extreme
While typing away, I’m paying no attention
Until I realize, I’m faced, with misapprehension
Glancing above the rims of my glasses
The color of blue, which nicely harasses
The vision in front of me, is it a message?
Downloading future, is this a presage?
It tells me to wait, but for what, I’m unsure
I could always hit cancel, that could be a cure
Except, I wonder, what it is my future holds
Can I ask the blue screen, or would that be too bold?
On second thought, perhaps, it’s cancel, I will hit
Better I should shut it down, before I throw a fit
As I turn off the computer, and take a deep breath
I pray, when I turn it on, I won’t be faced with death

In darkness
She seeks her solace
Quietly
He hovers
But raven brings no comfort
Merely an omen

So many candles burning, no brighter than a single flame
Dimly lit distractions, another one, they’ve come to claim
Keep your eyes on the colors, red and yellow float away
Spirits, in the mortal plane, release hidden souls this day
Guard your loved ones closely, lest they be taken, too
When the time has come, alas, they’ll also come for you
Fear not they who visit, regard the plan they must keep
To gather those who’ve lost their way, gather in the sheep
Lead them to greener pastures, far away from hurt and pain
Then remind us, there will be a day, we’ll be together, again
