Raven

Raven alight upon my ledge
Tapping at frosted glass.
Barely the handle is turned when you leap inside
Transforming into the Night Beauty.
You sing and I am yours.
I woo you, love you, make you mine
You wrap your wings around me and we fly together into the sky.
I grasp you close,
But my hold is too tight.
Your feathers wilt.
You call out to the blue sky.
I see you at the window again.
I open it and you are free.
My room is smaller now.
I see your feathers upon my pillow.
The clocks are louder.
I pray for rain so you might visit.
I search the trees and the sky for you.
I listen for your call.
But you do not.
