Up a thorny tree she rest in weight,
The mighty and the weak on her sight,
The cold street is warm with light,
The downing sun brings in the night,
The Raven saw it all.
Full of strength she ran,
Behind her were those men,
All her effort in vain,
His hands tight on her neck,
The girl was in pain,
The Raven saw it all.
On the cold street her body rest,
The Raven know it best
A young life brought to end,
How hard is this life test?
The Raven saw it all.
The cold morning came,
.... A mother’s heart maimed,
To rest the girl is laid,
On the top of her grave the raven calls,
the girls' demise in question
But........
The Raven saw it all.

Its 4:30 in the evening
I’m very tired from the days’ work
Then suddenly
She fly’s next to my window
She looked at me with a calm roughness
Then away she flew
I envied her going
As I remained locked in my tiny office.

I Stood There Looking
Sixteen I was,
My breast pointed and soft,
How round my ***** was,
Dark not light my skin tone,
Beautiful....,
Very beautiful my father cried,
But still I stood there,
I stood there looking.
Winter was here,
I knew he will be there,
No minute was there to spare,
My obsession I had to dare,
I wondered, Will he take me care,
With him I needed to share,
Alone this feeling hard to bare,
Still looking I stood there,
The room full of light,
I remember that night,
Present were people of might,
I took him not off my sight,
Around him ...those girls with dress bright,
I thought of putting a fight,
I stood there looking.
He came and gave me a kiss,
How long was this my wish?
The whole place covered in mist,
Soon we saw the priest,
Before the village I was his Mrs.,
So gentle he never insist,
Our life full of feast,
Still I stood there looking.
Here was summer,
The mood somber,
That day I remember,
He was an army member,
His duty took him to lands yonder,
A cross the world my mind wonder,
His body back on September,
On my window I stood there looking,
His grave lies there,
.......still,
...........there I stood looking.
