raven room

i whisper wishes

of feathery sleep

to a princess trapped

beneath water stained skies,

lost in a forest

of paint peels and cracks

i whisper wishes

of feathery sleep

to a dreamer haunted

by wingless flight,

locked in a cage

too high to survive the fall

i whisper wishes

of feathery sleep

to a heart cursed

with fading stars and

a waning moon

in the raven room.
