Crystal Nightmare Poem by nero tepes

on a frost lit night
a moon shines bright
as a lost little girl wonders
not knowing where she is
or how she got their this night
within this frozen crystal forest
where around lays howls
and hoots from nearby owls
from the corner of her eye
she sees a raven with white feathers
that look like a spectral fiend
more then a ghostly raven from afar
as he flutters his wings and lands her shoulder
she sees that he is far kinder then he looks
as a requiem plays in the distance
she cant stand to smile and dance to it
as the moon light reflects off the crystal trees
around looks like northern lights above
but nearby she smells something that makes her freeze
so scared like the last thing she remembers till now
the smell of blood and decay that lays around
as she sees a bird slowly dying covered in blood
with a crystal shard stuck in its neck as she cry's
golden tears tremble down her chest
as she wakes up she realizes it was all a twisted dream
at least that is what she thought in till next to her lays
the silver raven on the bust of iris next to her
on that night she finally snapped from this fear
as her sanity breaks this is where the story ends
