Raven Angel
- Raven Angel -
No dreary midnight, is ever too beautifully dark,
For my blackest weary wings to find their rest in!
I am at home in the ebon folds, to which I hark,
For the twin of that darkness lies sweetly within.
Raven Angel some call me, and I find that ideal…
For even in the light of day, my shadows are cast.
There is a heaven within me, comforting and real,
And there is a hell, belonging to the distant past…
Which my memory conjures from ancient climes!
I am an enchantress, and my will flows with art…
Both magical, and mundane: since bygone times.
I work my spells, and the shadows do their part!
The cross upon my blouse symbolizes what was,
And the wings upon my sleeves are for what is…
The dreams that I carry to the morrow, because:
I am a fallen angel, who is in search of true bliss.
Black tights beneath my garments, like the night,
Upon my slender legs which have come so far…
Are in a contrast, to my intensely pale inner light.
More blinding is it, than the radiance of any star!
The tresses of my hair are like the sunless void…
Which lies, between worlds, across the heavens.
But my truest beauty lies far deeper, just inside…
With neither endings nor origins whence it stems.
My sandals have tread, upon paths uncounted…
And my skirt has brushed, against spirits unseen.
My eyes did behold visions that oft surrounded,
The world you see, far more than it might seem!
Raven Angel some call me, of the twilight realm,
For between light and darkness, there I do walk.
You may only know so much lest it overwhelm…
So listen raptly to my words whenever I do talk.
Love is my hope, and passion is ever my nature,
For I am a soul who craves joy and happiness…
Even in the shadows, where I restlessly may stir:
Before I spread my wings, a true dark mistress!
No dreary midnight, is ever too beautifully dark,
For my blackest weary wings to find their rest in!
I am at home in the ebon folds, to which I hark,
For the twin of that darkness lies sweetly within.
Raven Angel some call me, and I find that ideal…
For even in the light of day, my shadows are cast.
There is a heaven within me, comforting and real,
And there is a hell, belonging to the distant past…

The illustration you see here is my very newest photo of me, wearing one of my favorite Goth style outfits. I added the magical effects on my hands to give the image a truly mystical look.
