Into the gloom of deepest dark beyond the gate of blight when howls take away the breath and wings fill the night Wander upon the green of dead in wait of quiet repose Chest churning all full of dread from head down to the toes. Wake not the souls in sleep of cease to come before you now Fall not into the pit’s sure release as catacombs do curl the brow Crypt of last life of nevermore whence has become the dwell of those beyond the life afore in search of eternal shell Shadows in gray do fill the light of night beyond the moon of ghoulish dance to soul filled sight when goblins play the tune. This bird of black who sits and stares into the soul of man with feathers ruffed and night of mares in Nevermore he can. Upon the walk of dead in night beyond the wait in grave A bird of black in demon flight of soar was called “The Rave” The shackles of the tomb and death are shed in darkest night as once alive a vision slinks into the wane of light A moon in full of man in scowl does chill the dead in green while wolves in pack now sit and howl last tune of raven’s glean.

Magnus darling boy these are utterly utterly wonderful. Not only have you managed to reproduce the same darkness of Poe but you've incorporate your own style into them as well. You really are a superb writer you know. And I really do love this this growing of you darling heart it's utterly excellent   Love and warm stuff As Always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |
