The Black Raven Sails

The tattered forms walked the rotten scow
Wind blew the sails and rocked the bow
Ghosts of the Black Raven were aboard
A filthy crew and haunted hoard  More >

A Gem Along the Path

On this path of life
I can see stones along the way
Here and there, they lay
I pass them by, one by one
All of them are good stones
For the most part  More >

The Raven King


Rascaminous raven squires his gleaming coat
His eyes flashing in golden reflected sunrises
Holding the wind up in his wandering circles
And swooping strafes by the seeded fields  More >

Earth Mother

Earth Mother I feel you in my soul
Pulsing
Swaying
Your energy swings me to far places
I ride your waves of joy and sorrow
I rest in your warm soft embrace at night  More >

I am a Chrysalis

By Marissa A Spencer

I am a chrysalis closed tight
Embraced by a thin shell
As I grow, twist, evolve
I see the world beyond my haven
Colored by crisp blues and greens
Pressing against the walls  More >

I heard your heart a-whispering
In the sighing breeze
No turn or twist along the path
Would bring you close to me  More >

The Frost

When frost is scraped from a frigid window
There remains a shadow of each stroke
And when your back is turned
The ice forms again  More >

Where Does He Walk?

Where does this man walk, shadows before him?
Where are his thoughts, what goes afore him?
How will he choose the course that he follows,
Stuck in his own selfish maze he now wallows?  More >

Time Stops


Will time ascend?
Or retreat if we sit quietly?
I sense a change
I watch the hours creep
Then they fly by with no sense.
When I close my eyes
Time stops  More >

Tell me that you want me to surrender.
Tell me that you want me forever.

I have to look at this sort of thing with an accepting eye, but sometimes...it is very distracting!

From The Flames

Will I be sent to fiery madness?
For it would be easier than this.
Your hand reaches from the flame
The blasting furnace blinds me  More >

No Magic

I heard it muttered that there is no magic in the world
The slamming doors of imagination closed in
And they stood there alone in the cold.  More >

Perhaps I am haunted.
Are there two shadows by my side?
Whose whispers do I hear?
Is it you who is inside?  More >

The Midnight Ride

She batted her eyes and smiled winsomely,
While the storm raged outside.
The fire was warm as he turned so handsomely,
Hoping for a midnight ride.
To gallop the freezing night away,
Crying aloud, giving in full sway.
As his eyes opened wide,she had nothing to hide,
And they rode till the break of day.  More >

Let Go

The darkness sleeps
I can feel the cool, soft air
It is breathing, slowly
How the light seems harsh!  More >

They were like wisps of spinning gold.  More >

You tease my aching, tired heart
I lay in the darkness, in mesmerized silence
When in the formless void of vision
Your face and form are drawn before me  More >

On the wings of hope we live
That none walk in shadow’s path
Or wander in the lonely bracken
May we beckon with soft whispers  More >

The Specter's Hand

The specter's hand held forth the flame
It hovered above his withered palm,
As he walked the darkness with eerie calm.
Again he raises his hand up high,
Seeking out the ones to blame.  More >
