Swansong for a Raven

Forgive the day's last serenades

Her skies they bruise like Nordic women

Deep crimson stains that death would claim

His robes of office swim him inAs would I for his dark eye

Has fixed, a basilisk, a scythe

On charred remains with shared disdain

For those I chose to mortifyTheir cries have paralyzed

And the smoke has choked these vistas

But still I lie though tears have dried

On the grave of my ClarissaA verse for her whispered to the earth

A lover's curse is a see-through coffin

Praises her curves so oft concurred

Though she was no snow white on the night she died

Her shadowers boon when the moon glazed over

Lipped with blood and secrets priedFor on and in they spread her wide

That seraph bride the Devils pride

Shalt soon avenge with swift repriseBut they would writhe for my dark eye

Bewitched, was fixed like Mordecais

On Esthers reign and in this vein

I saw their lust still stain her thighsTheir cries have paralyzed

And the smoke has choked these vistas

But still I lie though tears have dried

On the grave of my ClarissaBeneath these trees where the mist enwreathes

Her spirit flees, seeing chains of torches

A fleeting kiss stirring leaves of poetry

I was no dark knight, breaking men like ice

I was like a lycanthrope until the moon glazed over

Lipped with blood and last goodbyesNow I dream enwrapt in pure clouds of the sweetest oblivion

Where beauty streams freed from the teeth

Of those beasts that had come

To tear out her spells in red lettered cells

Wherein even the crown prince of Hell

Come out of his arrogant shell would falter to betterBut her face soon dispels and as black feathers fell

From heavens smoke so I woke to insanity

Her exquisite corpse found fit for their sport

Of course would burn on the morrow with meAnd there on this night strung up in my sight

Naked she sways displayed for their vulgar delight

I scream through my bars at the stars

That for these crimes of mine solace meI will fear not the flames that to passion are tame

Not nearly the same searing pain, I pray

As held sway upon losing her nor the mettle of roars

That will settle like ashes and scores

As with our ghosts in the fog when we both turn no more
