Three Shades Of A Raven

A girl named faith walked out
one moon lit evening
to the garden sideing her house
and from up in a tree,a boy she spied
curiosity over came her fear

she spoke to the boy
and when he came down,
in his arms was a crumpled
injured
raven

the next day she went
to lord Allan's manor
who did she meet but the boy
who cradled
the raven

Allan invited her in
and she spoke with him
becoming his nurse
for Allan was sick ,
his life failing

Faith stayed with the boy
Gabriel
paler than starlight,
eyes bluer than sapphires

it wasn't long when she met his brother
Lysander
his hair, blacker than the dark side of the moon,
one eye emerald, the other of gold

day by day she felt she grew
fond of the blue eyed one
Gabriel
she knew she had fallen in love

Gabriel in turn loved her
with a love stronger than stone
fierce as hornets
soft as fleece

Lysander marked down
first shade of a raven

For the twin brothers
were trapped, unknown to faith,
trapped in a gilded cage, disguised
by the manner

they had fates frightening
to be known
and that's why Allan trapped them
so perhaps he could control

but as the moon waxed,
Allan grew weaker
he had fallen into his death bed
with his passing, their freedom

all they could do was wait
hoping that faith couldn't
save him
hoping that his passage
would set them free

And
Gabriel and Faith had a love
that made all others fade'
and when they kissed, starlight glowed
all along, Faith not knowing
What Gabriel was

Lysander Marked down
second shade of a ravens wing,
a tear in his eye

Allan died four days later
the brothers freed,
they had to leave
and in doing so, leaving Faith

So Gabriel told her

We are Life and Death
Allan trapped our souls
in the manner
now, we are free

I love you
Faith Cried
you cant be death
he world skipped a spin

Lysander marked down
third shade of a ravens wing
as her mortal tears fell
he left his brother
death to say goodby

her tears fell on his chest
bringing a fire
one by one, his fathers fell
untill there was nothing but bone
a gust of wind, blew away and he
was mortal

her tears made him mortal,
to return to his job when
he died
Death sleeps in the arms of Mortals

Angels Fall
