"Thirty One Days "

Chapter 19: The Raven


These bleak Decembers where I burrow, nodding, not quite napping, behind my chamber door. On this midnight dreary, I bleed the loss of my great Lenore. My Raven doth quoth the sorrow of my days as he left my chambers forevermore.

I vainly sought his reasons for which his wish left me weak and weary. I ponder and hope, this sorrow of mine leaves me doubting and fearing. For lonely isolation is not mine bedfellow, but you, my Raven, oh, be still my beating heart. You make these dark days shine and cheery.

But what is this I hear? This tapping, rapping sound on my chamber door? Could it be what I seek in this cold, black heart of mine? My Raven, my Salvation, knocking on my chamber door? I tread lightly across my floor, desperate to know if my lonely days of yore, are behind me now forevermore. Open here, I fling the door, my beautiful Raven, such merciful angel as he, right outside my chamber door. I reach, hesitation weary in my bones, his thorns sharp and deadly, I fear he is but a ghost, a spectre. A figment of my desolate mind. But, lo, he speaks, his voice brings me ashore. My Raven’s red lips, like blood against bone, tell me what my heart needs most, as he crosses through my chamber door. My Raven smiles and quoth, “Nevermore.”
