"You made sense
when everything didn't."
Havran Oct 2015
"You make my life make sense."
Havran Jul 2015
Keep I love you from
ever becoming a reflex response.
It's the Monday Blues.
Havran Jul 2015
You
are my morning song,
and my favorite evening lullaby.
Havran Jul 2015
I
let the waves
take me back
to the shore.
Havran Jul 2015
goes my ever unsteady heart.

It does not take a pile of torn-up forget-me-nots
for me to falter,
just a name;
Your name.

You are my solemn unmaking,
the end where I begin,
you possess the irrevocable capacity to have written me in reverse.

**** it.
Havran Jan 2016
"If only I could be with you by the sea,
and feel the wind on my skin
and the sand on my feet.
If only I could be with you on that shore,
helping you light up our bonfire
to keep us warm the whole night.
If only I could be with you now
and let all my troubles fade away
with
the
sunset
because you are all that is good
about today,
or tomorrow,
or even years hereafter,
for with you I am content,
for with you I am happy."

"Before you,
the days were good.
With you,
the days were better.
Without you,
the days will never be the same."
Havran Sep 2015
"When I was young, I heard somewhere that when you look up to the sky and watch birds as they fly, you undeniably wish to go on an adventure, and for years I've watched them flown, until I met you. And without warning, without a clue, adventure found me."
Havran Jan 2022
Even in
the cold,
even in
the dark,
Your presence
is a source
of warmth.
Even when
I stray
into
my
night,
You
beckon,

"Love wasn't a battle, love was a willing surrender, yet still you insisted someone was going to lose -someone had to lose- so we both lost."
Havran Sep 2015
"Where is your heart?”
she asked.
So I told her
“Wherever you are.”
and that is the truth.
Havran Jun 2015
Cursed,
he was;
forced to roam
these lands
until the
last of days.
A divine sigil
rests upon
his brow;
an invitation
to imminent
destruction.
T'was he
who slew
his brother,
and by doing so,
had dug
two graves.
But
his brother
was not lost,
no.
For eons
he slumbered
in the pit;
his revenge
fueling the
raging infernos
that surround him.
Until one day,
he stirred.
And upon his
unholy
resurrection
he recalled
a name,
and his fury
grew all the more.

~*D.C.
Havran Jun 2015
His consciousness moved,
his body did not.
He was bound
to the ground.
A fallen angel
stood amidst
the tempestuous
flames,
yet he did not burn.
The younger brother
was unstable,
malleable;
he must be put
to the test.
Thus,
the angel
fashioned
a blade
of immense strength
that wielded
the powers
of his hell,
upon its hilt
inscribed
-in seraphic
tongue-
Convicta.
Use it
he said.
Use it as
a vessel
of your
hate.

At once,
His soul
clung to
the demonic
weapon,
his body
was left behind.
You cannot leave,
the angel said,
unless he is
brought
to this side.

And Abel knew
what must be done,
and began the
journey out
of the inferno.

~*D.C.
Havran May 2015
T'was a myriad of emotions that had overcome,
Of life, love, and laughter, with happiness for some.
Years will have passed, but this love shall remain true,
Outlasting time that pales in comparison, to the bond I have with you.

Under dreamy night skies, star-crossed lovers shall wait.
Withstanding the distances, unyielding to their fate.
Hope burns anew like a living and kindred fire,
Only because of you, the one I truly desire.

I was once in pain, and had gone astray.
And then you came along, and took it all away.
During the nights that you shared with me your stories,
Oh, I miss you so, you had taken all my worries.

Remember, my love, for I wrote this because of you.
Even if we are to be apart, I will always love you.
So much so, that nothing can ever replace,
The warmth of your presence, your candid embrace.
Hi :D
Havran Jul 2015
She was as if sunlight in my hands;
right there but constantly slipping
through the gaps of my fingers.
Havran Jul 2015
Roses askew on the floor
and scented lilac candles
flickering fleetingly into the wind
outside
these rusty windows
that creek and break
my sleep
in the middle of most every night
I turn
and I can see You
vividly
as if yesterday
You were not the silhouette
of the woman
that I have come to love.
Havran Jun 2022
"If I were a storm,
you would be the sea;
you fuel both the chaos
and the serenity
in me."

How are you?
Have you eaten?
I miss you!
Always remember to drink water.
G'night!
Sweet dreams!
Take care!
Sleep tight!
Don't stay up too late.
Look both ways before crossing the street.
Get a g'night's rest.
You can do it!
I believe in you!
Chase your dreams.
Breathe, breathe deep.
You can achieve anything you put your mind into!
You are beautiful.
You are amazing.
What you create is art.
I'm glad I met you.
I'm here when you need me.
I will stay.
Want do you want for breakfast?
Should I get you anything?
You can have the last slice of pizza.
Double-check for anything before you go!
Thank you!
You are worth it.
You are enough.
You are lovely.
You are Love.
Can you think of anything else to add? Share it with everyone! :)

Is it the falling rain
as it creates a clear sheet,
a cool blanket upon the earth?
Or is it in
the ripples
that form,
and disappear,
along the water’s surface?
Is it the taste
of burnt coal
and ashes
in
your
lungs
as you watch
the past
go up in smoke?
Could it be
along the nighttime streets
as you wander
in search for
where you belong?
Have you found it
under the light
of an
iridescent moon;
in silent reflection
as you reminisce
of Halcyon days?
Is it in
the aftertaste
of their fingers
intertwined
with yours,
or perhaps
in the whispers of
I
Love
You
residing in
the distant past.
Havran Oct 2015
"I don't want a love like that,
where someone feels entitled to be loved by you
when you feel like finding time for yourself.
I don't want a love like that for you."
Havran Sep 2015
"I still remember a time before you, and with it I can say with certainty that everything is different now. I have known loss and heartache, but I've also discovered love and wonder, and all this you have brought by simply being true to yourself."
Havran Sep 2015
"It meant everything to you,
and nothing to them."
Havran Dec 2015
You didn’t tell me about farewell.
I had no idea
how much I could miss you
until missing you
was the only thing
I could do.
Havran May 2015
Pity naught the fool who stood agape at the mouth of the abyss,
Who henceforth became a delirious, demented *******.
For very few are those who return from the precipice
Left with scars  that are all but a trifle.

‘Tis not fire that burns, that brings about anguish.
‘Tis not rain that drowns, that brings about pain.
A sanguine dullard will forever seek to diminish
What a benighted scholar will endeavor to sustain.

Hath thee the prudence
To discern the ciphers
In the deafening silence?
In the earsplitting whispers?

The fiends,
Their eyes
Of sordid coal
Conceal the truth
Of what they are after.
Their forlorn cries beseech the soul
With venom as clear as polished lacquer.
Havran May 2015
Yearning for your love that will always be true,
Offering these words as a memory of you.
Under the light of the ever-watchful moon,
Affectionately wishing that I'll be with you soon.

Reminiscing of the times when we were together,
Every moment of it all made me feel so much better.
Maybe someday I'll find the right words to say,
You are my only one, and may you never go away.

Surprising me with every little thing that you do,
Uttering your words that are as sweet sa honeydew.
Never wanting to see me down and alone,
Singing me to sleep in your lovely caring tone.

Here in my thoughts, a sweet surrender.
If only this moment could last forever.
Now that we're close, I won't ever let you go.
Eyes that tell me, of a wonderful tomorrow.

A little while ago, you gave me a promise,
For the one thing that you'll never want to miss.
To be with me, no matter how far apart we are,
Even if you're gone, we'll be wishing on the same star.

Rendering me speechless with your sweet caress,
Through the sound of your voice, I have to confess.
Here in your arms is where I want to stay,
Endlessly caring for you, in every single way.

Reaching out to a photo of you and me,
And smiling at how the two of us were meant to be.
Inside my room, I end this one short note.
Not even sleepy, hope you'll like what I wrote.
:)
Havran Jun 2015
The faintest hint of you
and I have songs,
and poems,
and words
brimming
from
my very thoughts,
and my mouth,
and my hands.
By all means
I breathe you in
as the air
that fills my lungs.
Havran Aug 2015
Where do you take me?
You take me
everywhere;
“over the mountains,
and under the stars”
Darling.
For your birthday :)
Havran May 2015
I have loved You dearly
Before,
and I will love You dearly,
even After.

Some parts fire,
some parts rain,
you are both
shelter
and
the oncoming hurricane.

"I love the way light dances in your eyes when you talk about the things you love. There is so much goodness in you that I've started seeing the good in me too."
Havran Dec 2021
From within
the confines
of his
solitary
dwelling,
the Raven
gazes outward
through
barred
windows.
The sky is
but
a
distant
memory
now;
the warden
has him
under lock
and key.
His
wings
have long
since atrophied,
he misses
the sand,
the wind,
the cerulean sea.
Havran Dec 2021
Come sundown,
weary silhouettes
stretch over
autumn
land,
the Crow
watches quietly
perched
high,
still.
Stretches of fields
disappear
underneath
looming
skyscrapers
suddenly;
strange­ crowds
rush over
phantoms of
lush vines.
Her
feathers
have lost
their majesty,
her spirit
listless in
concrete jungles,
waiting for home.
Havran Dec 2021
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.

~
Havran Dec 2021
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.
Havran Dec 2021
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.

~
Havran Dec 2021
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.
Havran Dec 2021
The Raven turns,
pensive,
to the twin
shadow
traversing
this boundless
star-kissed
welkin.
Moon be my witness,
I am Yours now.

~
Havran Dec 2021
The Crow stares,
spellbound,
savoring fragile promises
embracing
horizons
well into
the
beyond.
Let the Sun rejoice,
I belong with You.

Havran Dec 2021
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.
~D.A. & M.C.
Havran Apr 2022
Word-weaver,
Soul-keeper.
Heart-seeker,
World-eater.
You steal away
the sorrow
buried
deeply
in my chest,
and it
no
longer
hurts;
the act
of breathing,
the act
of being.
You tug at
my heartstrings
and I wonder:

Can you hear the symphonies you’ve composed?”
~D.A.
Havran Jun 2015
because look at them
gallivanting about
the avenues
and boulevards of your skin
as if you are not
the very accumulation of stardust
after countless supernovas
marked the end of old stars
making way for new ones,
as if your eyes
held not a single secret of the universe
even when it's so painfully obvious
with
just
one
glance
that that is not the case.

Here's to them
when they tell You
or make you feel
as if you're not worth a single coin.

*Because you're worth more
than all the treasure in the world.

"When I go, you will miss me very much, and this I know. I would never mean to hurt you, Darling, but I have to leave you behind as well, and the part that makes this difficult is that you will tell me to take care, even when you want me to stay."
