A visit from Poe's raven

The night Poe's raven visited me

As the wind sighs outside my door, my heart weeps beyond the breaking point.
As the raven cries “Nevermore”, despair runs rampant through my soul.
While shadows stalk and pace, the chill air pierces deep.
Staring, through hazy eyes, up at the dark sky, I hope wishing and praying will gain me one more try.
I just need to hear one more laugh. Feel one more gentle caress. One more kiss I wish to taste.
I wish and pray for one more chance – it’s all I ask, please! - as Poe’s raven laughs, “Forever! Nevermore!”
