A raven's affirmation

Occupy me not, heavy is this heart but, free of you it is
Lie to me again for I see your bubbling wretch of falsehood,
the loftiness of truth upheld by lies
Foolish are you to have threaded a damned life
For you are a running fool and I meet you with a cliff
Fall into oblivion, fool another fool, I am shield of the wiser

You recede from me into a night of African dreams
Farewell is your love in a tear slowly shed
Evaporate silent breath

O lesson opportune, close not what beats within,
the heart too must learn to fail
And just as refused to be, fooled I am in confidence
made clear today by the raven's knowing eye
Hear rising my intuition, severing your blond lock
Brain of a new vision, heart of a story lived, what a task is thine,
Within your beat still strong

To men certain whispers of myself bequeathing
but that affection me more strongly contemplating
To another rarely offering
Loathe you not, for it is with you my heart grew wise
And without you it dreams of something more
