The passage
of time
has become
meaningless
for
the Raven,
with each
insipid day
melding into
a disorientation
so atrociously
grey.
Through
the pale,
two moonlight orbs
gaze back;
the ebon figure
still as stone,
outside
looking in.
Free. Free.
the Raven
thinks to himself.
Would you kindly?
The Raven croaks.
Please free me.

Faintly wary,
the Crow
comes near,
listens
carefully
to disconcerting
impassioned pleas,
echoing despair
from beyond
deep darkness
so haunting.
Confused,
overwhelmed,
dull wings
suddenly set aflutter
in chorus
with cricket symphonies
and howling winds.
Breathe.
The Crow
reaches out
past bars
to cavernous twilight
painting joined plumes
back to life.

Wings wide,
Pitch-black,
quivering.
Fly.
Unfettered
at
long
last
under
a nocturne  
expanse,
The Raven soars
higher,
farther,
from the
desolation
of the
broken world
below.
Come with me,
he beckons,
still rising,
to his
unwitting savior.
Let us leave this place behind.

Eyes focused,
fascinated,
glimmering.
Fly?
Unsure
yet
compelled,
towar­d
unexplored
infinite skies
welcoming
in every moonlit
Stygian
feather.
Faraway lights
stop,
grow tinier,
more colorless—
gone.
Is this home?
The Crow
calls quietly
over constellations
winking furtively—
two shadows dancing in chance dreams.

The Raven turns,
pensive,
to the twin
shadow
traversing
this boundless
star-kissed
welkin.
Moon be my witness,
I am Yours now.

The Crow stares,
spellbound,
savoring fragile promises
embracing
horizons
well into
the
beyond.
Let the Sun rejoice,
I belong with You.

Raven
and Crow,
vows
exchanged
unconditionally.
Luna
and Solus,
celestial
keepers of
their desiderata;
souls
intertwined
for
all
of
time
in the ever-yonder
of Nyx Nightmother's
gentle embrace.
