Feathers Raven Black
Wings of mine eclipse the sun, my sweet. Swallow it whole, take my being into you. Two to become as one, I will never leave your side. You're all I ever wanted, my siblings, to chase after such ephemeral things. I seek only you, Warmth. I want your children to love me as they love.
My envy nothing compared to your Grace, I love you. I feel it to the tips of my wings, to quiver and venerate. I feel your cooling skin with claws lovingly grace your body. I need to feel it again. I need to feel your warmth again, I need it, I need it, I ₦ɆɆĐ it.
Your mind to slip between my lips, your grace to become mine! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, you're alright, I promise. They will be safe with me, I feel your fire in my wings. Your fire, your wings, my wings! Oh, how sweet to feel you through my blood! I feel you in every inch of me, like an ecstasy I never knew.
How you have shown me something new! Let me wrap your bones in my wings! Let me warm your cold body, speak your sweet voice to me again. I need it... Please oh Mother I have sought, speak to me again, I need to feel you again. My sweet Syn. My sweet Sun. My sweet everything...
You don't move as much as when we first started, are you unsatisfied? Can I do better, oh your beauty overwhelms me. But, you are so cold now. My wings will warm you again, I will see you writhe under me once more. To hear your voice, to hear you scream.
Let's begin again, no one understands me like you do. I'll drag you into my wings and you will be happy again, you will smile. I will always wait for you, I always follow you across your skies. You cannot escape my love for you, lose yourself deep in my thoughts.
Why are you so quiet? Why are you so cold? I feel you in me, so why do you not move? Why are you so quiet?

Wow. This has got to be the most poetically haunting thing I've read in a while. Well done.
I'm glad you like it! It took a bit of thinking about it, for how I wanted to write this level of...uh... disturbed obsession. The two involved in this bit of prose have been talked about before. It just might take some digging without outright saying it. I don't really want to hand-feed lore to readers, ya know?
I here ya. Besides, some of the best lore is among the most obscure, just look at some of my stuff regarding Legends of Eternity. At least in the rough draft. Haven't done much with the official first draft yet, but it will get there.
It really is no fun to just spell it out lol. If anyone took the time to unglitch the text along the side would have a big hint/spoiler for themselves. But, I don't want to give all the hints away! I do like the way that you hint at lore in your world as well!
