To the angel of reaping that stares at me now
and the raven that stalks on its shoulder,
“I wish not to live on, if thou could know how
judge I do not for thy gaze growing colder”
Here! takest my limbs, takest my prison, even the flesh of my brow
but leavest my heart, and too my soul, for myself and my love to grow older.
Asketh do providence, O stand but a moment, not an eternal eon allow
for now I beseech it to let me do stay, my arms are longing to hold her!
O parting has dawned, with so much unsaid, and time has taken a vow
so I closeth my eyes, hoping for hope, that a passing wind shall have told her.

Oh so Lovely!
Thank you.
To the angel of reaping that stares at me now
and the raven that stalks on its shoulder,
– stunning imagery and beautiful verse from the very beginning.
Thank you.
Thank you Vic, I’m glad you found it so aesthetic.
I can’t move past the opening. It’s gutting.
You like it that much?
Yes.
For that I’m grateful, thank you.

Thank you ever so much.
You’re very welcome :)!
I liked the opening line. Twas a good right. 🙂
Thank you for your appreciation, and sorry for disappointing you with the rest of it. 😀
No, you’re not, rather it was hopeful and speaks so much of love. I hope she hears the plea.:)
Life is nothing if not an excuse to cling on to existentialism. 😀
Indeed! 🙂
What can I add to the comments my man? Just beautiful.
Thank you, your appreciation shall suffice in the absence of further commentary.
I´d love to add more commentary, but I have no clue about the techniques of poetry, I just know that I love to read it.
And that, my good friend is in fact more than enough, thank you.
