I created a raven
out of nightmares and dreams
its feathers woven of delusions
my will sewn into its marrow
I created a bird
out of dreams and mistakes
its shining eyes - secret windows
in which a cold fire flickers.
I breathed my soul into a new life
dark, eternal - and lonely
company for the immortal
(the only one he ever had)
we unite with the night in a wild merry-go-round
free and untamed
far from beating hearts.
