My Australian Raven

HoboBilbo

I wish for you to be my Mistress Death --

My black-winged angle --

And the theft of my breath --

 

Though I know not your name --

Nor even your crest --

I wish to be --

The theft of your breath

    I'm looking for criticism. Please strip this to pieces and berate me.

      Negatively or positively?

        Who’s stealing who’s breath?

        • HoboBilbo

          The idea was we were stealing each other's breath. I admit it's unfinished & I don't believe it will be finished; I've lost what little talent/skill of the craft I've previously had. After it's first writing I felt as if it needed a middle/second group of stanzas for clarity & to bridge the two you see together.

            Nothing wrong with a work in progress. Took me six years to write this
            Check it out. It’s presented on video Of you like either Jazz or Hip Hop it might interest you.
