A short breather
Raven Feb 2020
The touch of raindrops
On my face
I try to taste

Feather light touch
Caressing my skin
I try not to cling

A sigh of wind
Runs through my hair
I try not to shiver


Can I be at fault
For I prefer nature
Instead of the assault
Of some humanly creature

I fled into the woods
In search of protection
I stood beside a river
And gazed into my reflection

In water I was drenched
Upon each sound I flinched
My hands were tightly clenched
Of blood my clothes still drenched


Sunshine trickled down my body
Soft and warm
Until dawn
Then, I was gone...

Freed
Raven Feb 2020
The pain is gone and I feel free
No time that changes who I'll be

Wenn ich an dich denke
Raven Feb 2020
Wenn ich an dich danke
(When I think about you)
I think
I'm not strong enough
Not for you, not for anyone
For a long time I tried acting tough
Bit this behaviour is gone
Don't know what is left
I'm sure it's nothing you would like
Maybe it would be the best
If you don't stay by my side
There's so much pain inside of me
You wouldn't understand
Nothing you can see
It's like drowning in sand
My innerst feelings are hidden
I kept them away from you
Cause they are forbidden
You know that tok

Think
Raven Feb 2020
I think
And that's what I love to do
That it is all in my head
I blink
And I have to realise
That I was once again misled

Homesick
Raven Feb 2020
Lonely, I am so lonely
I feel like you're leaving me behind
I never knew I could feel so strongly
But it seems you do not mind

I want to hug you, never leave you
But I guess now it will end
It doesn't matter how much of this is true
All this time, it is spent

I have to say my goodbyes
When it gets dark you can hear my cries
I miss your arms, I miss your smell
I miss your touch and how it felt

Mirror
Raven Feb 2020
Who is the person in the mirror
Looking into her eyes makes me shiver
What kind of a world am I living in
Runs through my head when I see her grin
Is she me? Am I me? Is she she and I am I?
Do we share the same world?
Raven Feb 2020
Is there something waiting?
Anyone? Anything?
This feeling of fainting
A black, heavy wing

Reality or an illusion?
A dream?
Some kind of a fusion?
Is it or has it been?

I am drifting
A ship on the sea
Water uplifting
Door without key

Will it end
Or do I have to spend
More time than expected
'Till I am selected?

I am not scared
I never cared
Life will leave me heartless
Finally drowning in darkness

Awakened
Raven Feb 2020
There's a soft feeling
Inside my heart
Never knew it's beating
Or when it start'

I gave away my heart
Raven Feb 2020
I feel empty, I feel lost
Kind of fragile, kind of soft
I'm lost in your eyes
Don't want to find the way back
My chest is empty 'cause I gave away my heart
My heart was strong my body is not
But inside of me
Although my heart's gone
All these feelings
Spend me warmth
I'm not able to live without them
Live without you
But right now I have to
I don't know how
Surviving without heart
This open wound
So much pain
Your worth it
Please don't let me go
Never
Ever

Suffocating
Raven Feb 2020
When you want to sing but the words are to heavy
When you want to speak but words get stuck in your throat
Then your world doesn't look wonderful, its shabby
When you look up into the sky watching butterflies
When you hear birds sing, thinking life must be wonderful
But you know it's not like that, it feels like something dies
All these things combined in your heart
Nothing to fear but it is way to dark
All these scars burned into your soul
Forming a single large mark
I wrote this in school. There was a poetry slam presentation. Each of us got three words and we had to write a poem. Mine were sing, birds and butterfly.

The art of killing
Raven Feb 2020
If you like to see something dying
Covered by his own blood on the floor lying
Everything you see is like poetry

Hunter and prey
Raven Feb 2020
Sickening sweet
How you bleed
Satening my greed
The beast freed
Taking the lead
Feasting on meat
Pulsing to my heartbeat
Evaporating heat
Elation, I could weep
Raven Feb 2020
Imagine Life
Standing on ice
Skittering
Falling
Scrambling
And crawling

Imagine Death
Losing it's breath
Gasping
Scratching
Thrashing
And collapsing
Life is failing at living
Death is constantly dying

Strangled by life
Raven Feb 2020
Living is not very encouraging
Time tends to fly away or crawl inch by inch
Clear moments are followed by worren thoughts
Where there is simple ness, complex situations hide from you
Only to jump in your face, when you thought everything went well
You are happy? Look back and you can see the drowning feeling on it's heels coming closer
If you close your eyes you can almost forget it even exists
U till you open then, ripped out of your thoughts because of a knife stabbed into your back poking out of your stomach
Be honest, it's not as if you didn't expect that to happen
Life truly isn't easy, well, nobody claimed it to be
You can cry and scream and hit and bite, pull, push
Staying alive is harder
To keep going on
To accept
To bear
It's like getting caught in a spider web, struggling to get free while only tangling oneself deeper into the web until there is no room for movement left
I believe I shall call it
Strangled by life

Emotional death
Raven Feb 2020
Sadness runs in my veins
A veil covering my body
Drowning my heart
Separating me
Burning in my lungs
Layering my eyes
Freezing my limbs
Suffocating me
From the inside out
From the outside in
The quickest way to emotional death

It is only a spark...
Raven Feb 2020
It gets dark
Even darker
I'd wish for a spark
It won't help
Just a drop in the ocean
A leaf in the woods
Wouldn't even rise a commotion
It's quite
No sound can be heard
I could be deaf
I shouldn't complain
All is in vain
It starts to rain
I stopped feeling the pain
It is cold
I feel numb
I'd wish for a spark
It could light a fire
Making everything brighter
Maybe burn me whole
Just like everything else
I'd taste ash
Drying my mouth
Filling my lungs
Layering my skin
Covering my eyes
Finally

Christmas scent
Raven Feb 2020
It smells so sweet
Just like a treat
Of cinnamon and vanilla
Gingerbread and camilla
Oranges and pine
Walnuts and lime
And don't forget the thyme
There's a bit of mint
Inside a pint
Rosemary, sage and lavender
Combined in a suspender
And just a breeze
Of anise
Some cloves and nutmeg
And last but not least
Of course, chocolate!

Merry Christmas
Raven Feb 2020
I guess I could say merry Christmas
It's this time of the year again
Where we wish each other some happiness
And hope there'll be snow instead of rain

Our homes will be decorated in light
With candles and greens making us smile
There will be a Christmas tree shining skin bright
So you want to sit down and gaze for a while

It smells of cinnamon, oranges and pinecone
Of baked treats, vanilla and punch
A time when nobody wants to be alone
And a shared smile can do so much

When everything is warm and comfortable
Soft music starts 5o play in the background
You know this moment is incomparable
Everyone joined together from all around

Spider
Raven Feb 2020
I wish I was a spider
Didn't have to be a fighter
I'd be much lighter
Giving some a frighter

I'd be quite hairy
Some might say scary
Others'd be weary
Though it's quite contrary

I'd be content
Having a friend
Who'd time to spend
And didn't pretend

I'd sit in my web
Next to the tab
Weaving my trap
Without a gap

I'd wait for prey
Bid you to stay
Each and every day
I'd pray

Wouldn't it be nice
Without the reminder
Way more kinder
If I'd only be a spider?
Most of the spiders in our houses aren't that scary.

Raised for slaughter
Raven Feb 2020
It is always darkest before dawn
Living a life based on a pawn
Whether it hurts
Whatever there in darkness lurks
Patience is required
Even if you're tired
Maybe someday
It will repay
For all the pain
That you had to gain

The Wendigo and Raven Stag
Raven Feb 2020
Deep inside a forest
Hushed whispers can be heard
A creature of humanity bereft
Has got the nightlife quite disturbed

Eyes as black as blood
Reflect in the moonlight
Bare feet buried in mud
A sharp smile widened in delight

Skin pitch black
Leather to the touch
Antlers on its head
A stag in its clutch

Sharp claws caressing its snout
An unusual couple
There never was a doubt
That the stag would either
Bustle, shuffle, struggle or buckle
Instead it muzzled, nuzzles, cuddles and snuggles
All the while the creature subtle chuckles

Blending into darkness
Ready to strike and attack
You can feel each others fondness
Of him and the black feathered stag

— The End —
