You are my dove

yes I remember the laughs between the layers of our shared verse

And the dreams we were dancing with the moon lit curse

That hung over my face

Drinking in my energy

And sneaking my love like bites, a dark raven morphed into stony two legs and a docile mask,

I cannot reach my Anabelle Lee

And I as Edgar cannot dream

This curse haunts me

I wish not to harm her twinkling milky vision, so in secret heaven we can hear our emotions loud,

A sea of unending lemon twilight bliss,

Waves that neither sink or pull

Or drown or carry,

But only lift up

And create new dreams.

You are my

Dove,

And Raven, too, Anabelle Lee

I love you.

    Beautiful imagery of a bittersweet love.So sad, but with hope of expressing that love in another dimension, you might say, with "a sea of unending lemon twilight bliss". I enjoyed reading this poem.
