Darkness Where Now Poe And Raven Reside,
(Part Six) - Of Six Total
Raven summoned up beasts from far below
Sent them into all the now empty cells
This was Poe's great genius, done just for show
His pen, had set Raven under his spell.
Poe brought gate-guards down from upper tiers
Next ordered open, those levels cell doors
Thus gave a chance to those fleeing with fear
For Raven's might, he chose not to ignore!
Poe saw his clever plan was going well
An escape map he gave to Annabel
Yet again his magic pen cast a spell
And into a deep pit Raven then fell.
Alas! He forgot dogs guarding last gate
Those eight and each one as big as a horse
Thinking and writing, he then challenged Fate
By verse magic, set a new escape course.
Poe ran with Hero and his Annabel
Through secret corridor only he knew
Freedom almost there, Annabel then fell
For Raven woke, broke binding chains into.
Up from that deep dark pit in angry flight
Fury's swell, in devilish evil chest
Raven cried out, Dark Lord resume my might
I live in dark vengeance, I do not rest!
Annabel now under Raven's dark trance
She was unconscious, unable to stand
Raven now standing at freedom's entrance
barring way into another realm's land.
Hero then cried out, Raven you are mine
Your awesome powers will not save you now
My shield and sword are blessed by Light's shine
I will destroy you, tho' I know not how.
Poe said, no friend leave Raven's death to me
For I wrote its existence, gave its might
Carry my Love away upon thy shield
My pen will compose your successful flight.
Raven laughed, saying, relax they are gone
She is safe and your aching heart may rest
Yes friend, now we both are doomed and alone
Master, did I play my evil part best?

Note... heard echoed as the gate closed.....
Yes Raven, yours was a runaway hit
And my acting was not too bad a play
Yet we are both still in this gloomy pit
Shall we wait, let pen, dance another day?
