Raven

Posted byAboli ManePosted inPoetryTags:, , , , , , , 
Crimson runs 
across the heavens
the sun bleeds 

time stands still
upon the tufted spurs
platinum blonde grass

a raven mourns 
sonorously 
the hourglass is empty

when the sands run out
life ends with a gasp
a bated breath
 
the Reaper waits
dusk falls.

Written for Quadrille #171: Poetry is a kind of Gasp for dverse Poetics
Thanks for reading 💕
