**** This is just a series of poems I wrote about a
Mysterious black haired girl that entered my life literally one night
for a brief period of time and then was gone ****

Though I choose to live in the light,
the night pulls at fragments of my soul,
just to balance this adventure...

Parker


Raven Hair

A shimmer seen one mans dreams
the color of the night
the Raven Hair you dare to ware
is stunning to my sight
Brunettes will frown with blondes around
till auburns take the scene
but all will stare at Raven Hair
she enchants them like a queen.

James Parker Haley (c)1993

Raven Queen

I fall asleep to vivid dreams
Of the one I call the Raven Queen
She calls to me in the pale moonlight
True Lovers of a long ago Life
Her Ebony locks are dark as the night
And wondrous eye's brighter then bright
Oh Raven Queen, you're all I see
Run with me to an ocean breeze
We'd make Love in the sand,
of a Far away Land
You and me on a southern Sea
Oh Raven Queen, Oh Raven Queen
Of my Dreams.

James Parker Haley (c)1993

Dreams of the Raven

A black bird sits on my windowsill
and talks to me at night
the shimmer of its feathers glow
from the touch of the full moons light
A message from the dreams of time
When the Ravens eyes met mine.
They tell of places hidden deep,
and emotions that, forever keep
in the recesses of the mind.
Though locked away
from the fragile heart,
they'll whisper in the dark
and dance,
in the dreams of the Raven.

James Parker Haley Feb 14, 1994

I Fear the Night

I fear the night,
not the darkness, not the shadows
that runs from the moonbeams, searching light
but the evil of the moments, of their eternity
that creeping hand of time, extending, unrelenting.
I fear the night
Not the Quiet, Not the stillness.
that should bring me the comfort
Of my security, of my sleep,
But the thoughts,
of the Raven, of the kiss
the Raging dreams, of her passion
of her eyes, of her Love
I fear the night,
not its coming, not it's going,
the wish for love, for dreams, for Romance,
But the unknowing, of her distance, of her absence
that she may never really be, in my arms,
as I dream, in the night.

James Parker Haley (c)1994

The Time We Had

I think of moments
come and moments gone
and of those few where
my love was strong
You needed me when,
I really needed you
and we made the touch
that lover's often do
and in that time,
as brief as it was new
I lost my heart, to the one
whose kiss, would turn my
thoughts from all the girls
I ever knew.
Oh my love, there will never
be a moment, that'll pass,
When I don't think about,
the time we had...

Always your poet, forever your
friend, a place in my heart till
the very end.

James Parker Haley (C)1994


Still I wander in the night,
in fear, and in joy,
though the color,
might have changed,
the adventure remains…    

Parker …..Aug 2000.

serenity, I would say that anything is appropriate in the night.
and lol to the frigging rocks reference. You've got a great memory for a night crawler like myself.  

Well then brunette on over here, just get rid of the funny furry bunny boots...  

Thank you for giving me a smile tonight...

serenity, thats another line from that poem your referring to.

I must have warped through time itself
For I heard a maiden call,            
Hark, who hides in frigging rocks      
You've crushed my treasured holly hocks

With mustard of the bravest Knight
I staggered through yon goldfish moot
And fell upon your wooden boat,
I must have scared your furry bunny boots,
Cause they tried to kick me in the snoot.

... you just shaved, that's more information then I need. Can I see...  


Marge, thank you.

I just shaved too...I don't think that fits in here though...

Wonderful poems all. You have a great ability to keep the mood going in the same direction
even though these poems are separate works.
Excellent writing...thoroughly enjoyed!

Sounds to me like she was a wonderful heart warming experience

ethome, OMG do you shave your legs too. I don't want to know anymore. serenity please check and see if he did a good job....  

Well, I think these poems just flowed with the relationship, there might have been more but as the story goes, my muse went underground for six years when she walked out the door....

"Raven hair and ruby lips, sparks fly from her finger tips, echoed voices in the night, she's a restless spirit on an endless flight, woo hoo, witchy woman, see how high she flies...woo hoo, witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes!"
