She Slept

For a time she slept

After the heavens wept

No longer did the rains flow

All that was left was darkness

And the cawing of the crow

Blackest black of night

Mares like a dream in flight

And on she slept

Even knowing

That this wasn't right

Midnight tresses glowed

Raven silk laid

Upon the pillow

Lashes fluttered in fright

Lips murmured

Though held tight

For fear of saying the name

That brought on the rain

And caused so much pain

Velvety tongue encircled

The soundless blight

Sour and rancid

Scrunched her

Pixie nose

As she slept on

Bathed in moonlight
