The Owlowicious

Once upon a midnight ...

Once upon a midnight dreary,In Twilightnore Sparkle's Library,
while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

''Huh,Wha...?''

As of somepony gently rapping, rapping at the chamber door.
Facing the fire while turning around in my chair.
I did'nt gave it attention with no stare.
‘’haha,It is just some visitor,’ I muttered, ‘tapping at my chamber door—
    ''Only this, and ...nothing.... more.’

It was my Love : Twilightnore Sparkle who past away.
Still remembering that it was about a week or a day.

And ah, distinctly I remember that it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought it's ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow ,vainly I had much sought to borrow.
From her books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Twilightnore—
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Twilightnore—
    Nameless here for evermore.

I looked at the curtain and with a shriek--
I hided behind my chair,poor and weak.
The silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me—and filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,

,‘’T-tis some visitor e-entreating entrance at the chamber door—
Some l-late visitor entreating entrance a-at the chamber d-door;—
    That is it, and nothing more.’'

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
‘Colt,’ said I, ‘or Mare?, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact that I was napping, and it was so gently you came rapping,
And it was so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure that I heard you,
My hoof reached the door,yeah i was scared.
waiting for what kind of danger would bewared.

—here I opened wide the door;—

  Darkness there, and nothing more.
