Swansong For A Raven

Ancient times when witchcraft stories were told
Shimmers of invocation far and near , behold!
Sorcerers of good and evil haunted nameless lands
Veils covering their eyes,charmed rings on their hands..

Unbeknown forest full of forsaken creatures and dewless flowers
Was the bystander of a great encounter between two enchanters
White dressed witch with angelic breath-taking silhouette
Black dressed wizard sunken in throbs of untamed threats..

The forces they carried within were powerful opponents
Words of incantation on their lips,nature vibrates
When it listens to celestial thunders and sweepings
Entangled spells,death blasts bursting into lightnings.

The rivalry was blooming in their rancorous hearts
As the wizardry they carried inside was a blindfolded art.
Agonizing spells were hitting,full of hatred,the other
Unleashed flares from hell confronts envenomed razors..

As their human weaknesses start to slowly appear
His veil falls,revealing the enchanter's face - eyes so queer
The spell she held in her hands vanishes undelayed
This love she felt for him was stricken by his fire blade..

Kneeling in front of him,she took her final breath
The wizard uncovered her face - she was close to death
The enchantress was a reigning beauty whom he started to bewail
Their bodies turned into raven and swan - male and female

Black raven feathers wrapped in white swan feathers
Her swansong was her final charm,her final love whispers..
Wizard's tears could not heal her flawless swan corpse
Raven tears for her agonizing swansong-punishment for her lost.
