The Raven’s Return

Looking back I do remember on that wicked dark
December, hope and faith to me so tender, dying on my chamber floor.
My then new friend had left my side and to the night it flew in stride
leaving me alone inside cold and empty to the core
Dead I was and nothing more

But this was not to be the end, back and forth I’d go again
into life or devils den to find my love my lost Lenore
For I believed in fate so strong, simply searching to belong
to my love from days of yore
Seek I would and nothing more

I searched through days within all seasons trying hard to find the reasons
why God acted as if in treason to the love I lived before.
Taking her, was this a test? Upon an endless nightmare quest
I’d have to march upon the breast of Father Time forever more.
On I trekked and nothing more

Running wild within the light of all that was and all could be
I went from life to life with hope that I would surely find my dream.
A dream to be reality, this was foreshadowed more and more
As each death came there was a door unlocked for me to soon explore
Unlocked for me, forevermore

Mixed emotion, lost expression came to be through black depression
causing thoughts to turn direction from the truth I held before.
Licking wounds that would not bleed, I found my soul to surely need
The love, now lust, aligned with greed, that love still seen as my Lenore
Hurt it did, of this be sure

Then in the month of May she came, this life had held the final game
the moment I had long searched for to find the one I did adore.
My vision of a hundred years now stood before my thousand tears and with it
came a thousand fears that would provoke what was in store.
Not again, I did implore

Yes, from the darkness it came to me like it had done once before
that wicked evil bird from Hell had now flown to this moonlit floor
Staring at us both it did, its eyes fixated cold and sure, then spoke to me it’s
only word that struck my soul down to the core,
Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore”



Go you bastard leave, be gone, I said this in a tempered rage
Fly back to where it was you came and start not now this war you wage.
With this now said, I turned my sights to her whose soul was rich and pure and as I did, she disappeared whereby I screamed, my soul now poor
Wealth to be, nevermore

My heart then stopped yet still I lived and with such life came death to give
I stormed towards this bird of prey and in my hands
I yearned to say, “Die now Satan, live no more” and then I
Threw him on the floor, he then stood up and did implore
His only word
Nevermore

Since then I’ve stumbled through the days and with it comes an endless craze with me fixated on that phrase that slashed my soul and slammed the door
I can’t move on from here until my body finally does expel my soul but that can’t be until I’m old and cold and dead and worn
Suicide I won’t endure

So again I ask the Raven, like I have done in times before
Will I see my only maiden, my dearest love, my love Lenore?
Starring at the streets of home, my only home of this I’m sure
The city lights of Baltimore speak for the Raven,
Nevermore

I originally wrote this for a young lady whom I thought as well as felt a true connection towards years ago.
