Raven Showed Me The Light

Teddy.15

 

My Raven's back     
tonight he stayed
he stayed with me 
through my dismay 
I never knew my tears could fall
eyeballs swollen 
dusk till dawn
I asked him why
why, do you stay?
softly gently
he, did say
you're weak and tired 
you're lost in grief 
I'll stay with you 
this moment brief…
 
and he did.

    Again reminiscent of Poe but this time even more.
    "I asked him why
    why, do you stay?
    softly gently
    he, did say"
    Something about the rhythm and wording of this part left me with Poe. The rhyme and rhythm of this poem was so gratifying. Lovely!!
