Come closer, I’ll not bite you
That’s really quite absurd
Can’t you see, from the look in my eye
I am no ordinary bird

My feathers shine in ebony

The blackest you will ever see

I am not the raven spoken of
The one Edgar Allan knew
I really am quite different
I know this to be true

Though dark am I, as the evening sky

You’ll feel me near, as my wings fly by

Duck your head, protect your hair
The world above is mine
I’ll fly by you, without a care
I’m simply quite divine

Onyx, against the leaves of green

The most beautiful bird you’ve ever seen

No need to be frightened of me
If you stay in the distance, in fact
Shoo me away, and off I’ll go
But you can bet, one day, I’ll be back

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

In darkness

She seeks her solace

Quietly

He hovers

But raven brings no comfort

Merely an omen

Friday Fantasy ~ Seeking Solace – #poetry #dark

I am as black as a raven

Against the brightest moon

I venture, seeking solace

Taken from me, too soon

Ebony night, speak to me

Let peace and tranquility abound

Shadows enveloping, sheathing

Their spirits dance, profound

A settling calm, stormless

Sends me deeper into the vast

I am no longer searching

The darkness has claimed me

At last

The First Mate ~ #poetry

The captain was nowhere to be found

It seemed his boat had run aground

Through starlit night and moonlight glow

He vanished in the undertow

Or had he disappeared from sight?

Did he, from his ship, alight?

Has he found his newest haven?

Or been swallowed by his first mate, Raven?

The bird will never tell, my friend

Of how the captain met his end
