    My Heart Has Raven Wings

    Black wings that flutter through stormy sunshine. That storm within… with the sun glowing through black clouds that gathered over my eyes… Bright enough to penetrate into the dark of my soul… This storm and sun intertwined, ebony silhouette of the raven soaring through...

    My Heaven, The Ink, The Raven

    This sacred inner realm I keep within… Deep within. Hidden it is to the world’s judgmental, blind eyes!   Every beat of my heart is rhythmic, dark beauty. My gothic heart beats on as if it possesses the pen itself!   Every pulse from this rich...

    Remaining Numb

    Spent so many years finding a reason Constant friction rubs against the grain With hope comes a change of season Suspicion stirs beneath a summer rain   Thought I caught lightning in a bottle Forgotten words splinter through space Ancient spirts following at full throttle Falling out...

    • There are so many great lines in this one. I think the one that sticks the strongest with me is:

      “Complacency is a recipe for disaster”

      Not paying enough attention to the gravity of a situation is so dangerous. All it takes is a single grain to tip the scales. Gotta watch the build-up. Your mind never ceases to amaze me, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. One of my favorite lines as well, though I had other lines I liked as well. You’re spot on as always. Appreciate you.

    • Coming to a dark truth is scary after a long search isn’t it?
      Favorite line: Distractions occupy the symbol minded

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It is quite scary, it definitely woke me up. lol. I loved that line as well, one of my favorites. Appreciate you.

    • G’mornin’, Damian 🌤
      The enjoyment of your fine writes goes well with this hot wake up mug-a lapsang souchong.

      Such a beautifully rendered, smoothly flowing set of unmetered Quatrains (in a-b-a-b spot-on rhymes) sing a sad song, indeed.
      They say, “We must play the cards we’re dealt!” But, I, as You, have obviously been dealt some tragically sorry hands.
      The one worst aspect of romantic relationships your keenly-writ lines bring to mind, is the painful reality of unrequited feelings and emotions.

      “Understand I’m living the fucking song
      And your loyalty lies in remaining numb”

      Brilliant work, Syr Poet … thank you for sharing! ⁓ Rascal🖌

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Rascal. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Terrible hands indeed, and I didn’t do much in my early life to help matters. Like becoming an alcoholic, just lead me farther off the path. This one has layers, on one hand there is nothing wrong with a romantic relationship poem, so I don’t mind it being viewed as such. But this one is more about a songwriting partner/friend who I loved like a brother. He was family, until that was no longer possible. They kinda overlap. lol. Thank you for your wonderful commentary. Appreciate you.

        • Thanks for clearing the relationship … just read again and it makes perfect sense.

          Been there, done that!

          A thought: Ya might consider saying what you did to me in the Summary for others to enjoy this piece all the more.

          Thanks, Damian, for your appreciation! ⁓ RJ
