"black crow" a Sonnet revised
For years I've never known,
for all they've never shown.
My love they never get,
my love they do not own.
While seeking all they take,
my love they never grace.
You see they all were fake,
with you my love we mate.
Strands of golden lacewing,
placed in hands while facing,
flown up so ever chased,
black crows so cherished lace.
One heart flown true with faith,
true love our endless fate.
