The Dove
“Brought To You By Ex Cal”
*………
One dark n’ weary night - Dim moon; Sky? stars n’ erie lights
Sittin’ there startled, Eyes teary, my heart gets really tight!
Hearin’ hard knocks I quickly hide n’ peek out the back window
But my vision is lost, between the strings of a black widow
Screaming! I grab pillows - hurriedly blockin’ the shutters,
Another knock? So I utter; softly; “Is it haunted I wonder?”
Gasping for air as my oxygen flutters, I’d move to the side
Behind the wooden dresser; I stood in the room with a knife
I started pacing back n’ forth on top of the crackling floor
Walkin’ rather fast as I heard another thump smack the door
I jumped back n’ roared!, … overwhelmed by evil feelings
Just then I yelled to myself; “WHAT the Hell?”………
As I noticed a peculiar shadow with a tail beneath the ceiling
Infront of the window I’ll see it better!, the light’ll glow,
One quick glimpse n’ I discover it’s feathers are white as snow
Standing there quitley still frozen no motion, occurred,
I start thinking; …… “All along this so called ghost was a bird?”
I begin rubbing my eyes, Trying to focus my nerves
A couple quick blinks and I realise though I was hurt!
Head spinning dome goin’ beserk - I try to gather control
Just then it dashes across the room, leaving feathers to float
It’s beak was Heavenly gold! A nice peck ready to strike
As it stood there staring… with these bright red devilish eyes
Calm and steady I reply; “Just take whatever you like!”
Still he sits there inactive, n’ just when I get ready to move
He opens his mouth n’ oddly says; “I have a message for you”
Frightened I ask; “A message for me?, You’re truly mistaken”
Wiseley he snaps: “Yes!, You will see sooner or later”
For a second, …… My face turns pale as a bucket.
So I strategically mutter; “May I ask where you came from?”
…….He paused for a minute then finally said;
“I was sent from an angel with passion and strange love”
Just jokin’ around I shout: “That of the name of?”
LENORE, He grunts! You were the man she had date, huh?
I fell to the ground - Tears in my eyes … Yelling out loud
“This must be some type of joke, Please tell me right now!”
Screaming! “Bird or Demon, Leave without words or speaking
And to never return, Please fly back ashore - I mean it!
Don’t knock on my door anymore stay out of the dark,
It’s all of your fault!, … So take this pain out of my heart”
But he sits there motionless just as sound as a statue
Well then if you won’t I’ll leave the castle now if I have to
But just then the light of the candle reflects off the bird
Displaying his shadow! - Next to a message with words
That reads; “Dear Edgar,… By now I’m in Heaven,
…….Far above the clouds looking down on a legend!
Feeling empty inside, Without you around I feel dreaded
So please come back to me before I drown in depression
*Signed with kisses and hugs* - Forever Lenore!!
Crying inside I grab the note n’ put it next to my heart
Placing it ontop of my soul, It shall be lifted never no more
The End.
P.S -This Story was inspired by one of my favorite poets; Edgar Allan Poe's: The Raven. As you can tell I sort of made it into my own version, So I Hope You Liked It.
