Call of the Raven Moon

The night sky is ever still as

silence descends, the four winds

becoming one caressing my

naked body, and as you watch

the branches bend,

revealing all of you.

Long lost, but never forgotten.

Will you meet me at the lake

where the water calms my fear?

Will you once more fall in love

and light in me your flame?

Come to me once more,

and I shall know peace and at last be free.

The shattered path before my

heavy feet, leading me inward

to this broken temple of love,

lust and creation, resting here

whilst heeding the call.

We now lay under the moonlit sky

in the shadows of the past,

and as we become one the stars

kneel down, whispering poetry

of this withering moment.

The falling leaves weaving

a blanket, underneath it

the innermost truth,

feeding the sands of time,

stilling it's hunger

while we quench our thirst.

Taking our place among forever,

remembered only by two.

Now closing our eyes to see,

changing our hearts to feel,

sealing our lips to hear.

The call of the raven moon,

laying us to rest.

Your skin like silver

in the night, your face like a poem without words,

Your touch was the sun in my heart,

and my heart was found by you.

And as the worlds begins to wake

so falls the last petal,

and at all things end we must go

our separate ways into the night,

always alone because

I couldn't save you.

And for that, I am sorry and always will be!..
