My dark distant, melancholy dreamer
raven on your shoulder and the night muse
whispering in your ear as the moon beckons
pick up your quill

reach deep into the ghost of
your longing, wake and break
the spell of your enchanted sleepers
open the scar, deep as the grave
keeper of the heart and a never
silent love……
