She a Dream Raven, Ghost of Ill Repute

(1.) Beware, Nightmarish Dreams Are Oft By Raven Sent, (In Tribute To Edgar Allen Poe) When incantations stoke fiery embers, eerie nights, their sounds roust to remember ghosts of yesteryears, so birthed to dark play within nightmarish dreams, as monsters slay. Around barren halls and into the den. Are long lost souls of battle fallen men. When whisperings through low wailing mists creep into lonely aches that seep in so deep coldest chills falling from moaning skies fail to dampen those horrid muffled cries. Around barren halls and into the den. Are long lost souls of battle fallen men. When cursing voice eats away lighted glow and within fated views, a wicked show brings echoing screams asking out the why mercy leaves and the innocent must die? Around barren halls and into the den. Are long lost souls of battle fallen men. When blackest of night stabs as its hours wane into ghoulish dreams and anguishing pain one must pray for dawn's shine and light of day to slay Raven's black-spirit sent to play. Around barren halls and into the den. Are long lost souls of battle fallen men. Robert J.

She A Dream Raven, Ghost Of Ill Repute, (In Tribute To Edgar Allen Poe) In truth, an angry Raven full of bile She a she-devil, a nightmarish dream her touching wicked and her laughter vile evil her style, lies flowing in her streams! She a dream Raven, ghost of ill repute, from Hell's first haven, where torture reboots. Hidden blades her claws and beauty her face blindness her tool, shadows her false mirage creeping down halls, your true sight to erase smile on her face, your desires to massage! She a dream Raven, ghost of ill-repute, from Hell's first haven, where torture reboots. Only friends, her hideous demon pets in squads answering her dark tempting calls creating scenes of lust, topping all bets as greed and sin besets, your honor falls! She a dream Raven, ghost of ill-repute, from Hell's first haven, where torture reboots. Destroyer of peace, at wrecking your all her voice enchanting, its power so sweet she a murdering beast, with bloody paws ending dark calls, before dawn's glow you meet! She a dream Raven, ghost of ill-repute, from Hell's first haven, where torture reboots. Robert J.

With the subject matter the fantastic, imaginative works of Edgar Allen Poe- I've chosen to give tribute to this famous poet genius. A man that surely had his "demons" far, far more than his fair share of heartbreak and disappointments in life. And even controversy on the true cause of his death. I hope that this new blog can be a diversion from the dark, scary world that is now casting doom and gloom as its most unwanted gift to the world. See my new blog on this, with additional information.. God bless,you, the one, and the all. Robert J. Lindley, 4-04-2020

Brilliantly composed Robert, two poeish gems, you were well inspired by the master of dark. I often wonder if his spirit is guiding your pen, they are so well written. Tom
