Sophie’s raven

as death comes to my mind

and my life leaves all behind

when swirling ravens sing

with hideous croaks in full swing

“Moonlight sonata”

waltzing ugly on the brink

on branches resembling a limb

archaic, black and grim

eye in eye with the black cloud

“ignore everything” they vowed.

i’m waiting for my turn to soar

to dance in death’s grip

see from above fate’s pit.

and a sword the pit to slit

worms, get out of the ground to weep!!

after a mercurial rain

exiled on the grey plain

fragile and left bare

and I, waltzing lightly in the air

I will hastily dig a lair

in bliss’ cell

or passion’s well

to find you sleeping like a belle.

 Poem from my novel “Love between two worlds”
