Raven's Shade
you don't know me
& never will
I clothe myself
with raven feathers
nighttime covers
to keep out prying eyes
the ones that would consume
my gentle soul
taint my blood
with their hate
twist the knife deeper
creating a gnawing ache called pain
guilt riddled holes
are puss filled wounds
in the darkness I reside
where evil, the decrepit
are common place
shaded by my realm
see my face fade to black
cloaked in the shadows
sleeping with the demons I know
you sipped my flavor once
when I was naive
that was once upon a time
when I was ruled by paranoia
you took a slice of me
I vowed to all hell
it would never happen again
this is now my domain
if you step to me
remember you're stepping to a Queen

This is so raw and fierce!
A powerful punch in this portion-
"you sipped my flavor once
when I was naive "
Badass ink.
No one does it better than you, Crim. ❤️

A warning to the abusers of the past. The caterpillar has transformed and this butterfly bites.

Oh Brenda, you express yourself so vividly your own words defy you...
"with raven feathers
nighttime covers
to keep out prying eyes"
And yet your poetry allows our eyes to see beneath the sheets of your soul...

A brutally powerful piece, Crim;
I feel it as you rise to claim what's
yours.
All hail the beautiful, Queen of Darkness...

What an amazing display of strength and vulnerability you've shown in these words! There is nothing I can say that hasn't already been said by one or more of the individuals above, but this is gorgeous! Stepping to a Queen indeed! Brava! :)
