Raven in the grey winter

Raven in the grey winter

In the cold night of winter
Somewhere in December
When the breezy wind moves about
As though it was blown by sleepy Winter Cloud
As dark as it may be
Shadows of dead trees can be seen
Branches swing from left to right
Like a hundred hands reaching toward the sky for light
A creature that haunts the night
Is sometimes caught in sight
Its eyes glow so red
Those who look? will meet their fate
She rests weakly on a branch
Her body is telling her she’s drenched
Each tear that flows from her eyes
Sparkles with sadness and lies

The curse whispers through the shadows
Crying out soft miserable woes
It crawls and creeps slowly around her
Like a devil’s toddler
She spreads her wings to fly
Only to fall deeper into the cries
She struggles in the shadow of death
She’s about to lose her breath
In the grey winter of misery
Making the sky feel sorrow and sorry
The creature weeps
Because the curse lives forever

Cinderella

Cinderella

Sitting by the stone cold hearth,

Beside the flickering flame,

Where dancers with feathers and funky fans,

Twirl gracefully in the ruby red fire.
The clock ticking on the mantelpiece,

The fire hissing like a slithery snake,

The wind howling like a wild, wicked wolf,

Rattling the windows loud and clear.
Gazing out of the tinted glass,She catches a glimpse of sunset,

Where a distance away lies the horizon,

Outlined with golden thread.
A beam of light from far, far away,

Sweeps swiftly across the sky,

Leaning backwards with eyelids shut tight,

She wishes upon the shooting star.
She hears a tap, she hears a knock,

She rises up, she answers the door,

She stares, she gasps, she smiles with joy,

Slipping into the shoe.
No more tatters, no more rags,

Now adorned with diamonds and jewels,

With her prince they ride off to a castle of love,

Together forever, may they happily live.
