A Romance of Ravens;

By whisperingwalls

Dancing at the edge of an uncovered grave

A swirling cascade of moonlit memorials

;A Romance of Ravens.

Here
the buried
and forsaken
weather shallow tombs
of plush
and velvet

Corpses Claustrophobic

; Dreaming of Air.

Oh Woe
Woe
The Waking Dead!

fill row upon row
with discordant moans
clutching to their
heirlooms

And like an Undertakers lantern

;Snuffing out lost souls.

like opening a long closed book of classic work, etched leather and time stained pages... the tone and feel more weighted with its language but no less graceful... well done

Much appreciated! Corpses claustrophobic is one of my favorite lines as well.. And the second line was a reflection on materialism.
