Raven came, he came a tapping
like a thousand times before
I do not want to see him rapping
death has come to door once more
I beg to differ, I shan't glance
you see my raven, doesn't dance
tapping rapping full of somber
I shan't glance, my life no longer
black as space I cannot see
there is no angel here with me
Raven came he came a tapping
tapping on my prison door
as if I called him here to me
death is here, it’s here to see
ring the bells, it's time to ponder
life and death and all its wander
Raven now inside my head
black is night it's time for bed
I won't sleep within sweet slumber
I won't close my eyes this night
open mind free to wonder
why my life has no such light.

I am sure that the light will be there for you Teddy.

Oh I definitely see the light dear Andy, thank you, I'm just incredibly inspired by Poe, I've made a small book of poems, which also relieve all the grief I've had throughout my life.. thank you 🌹
This raven has been haunting you for some time now. Ghosts wroght upon the floor are to hearkened to. Should it come tapping on your window pane open the shutters and let him in, I'll bet he says Ever more not nevermore.
For my love of Edgar Allen Poe I'd love to meet this raven, he helps me heal. Thank you for such a gracious review dear sorrenbarret, I missed you very much. 🌹
Great write Teddy
