Poetry, Dedicated to Edgar Allan Poe.

I’ve walked along these shores,

Searching for my sweet Lenore,

Collapsed by all this feeling,

Of trust fading forever more,

I sit in this dungeon screaming,

Haunt me never more,

I’m searching for my sweet Lenore…..

Rest…..

Rest upon my shoulders…

This burden that has been lifted,

Will haunt me forever,

I’m swallowing fear,

I’m tasting tears,

Mayhem from these years,

That you held me dear,

I’m lost without you…..

I am lost without you…..

Crescent moons shine down upon me,

No full light caresses my journey,

But still I move to the beat of a war drum,

Pacing on into the distance searching,

Searching for this girl, the one I love,

Where….OH, Where, Is my sweet Lenore,

She’s gone ashore, and I can’t stand it anymore,

I’m traveling far….and in between, 

Don’t you see how much you mean to me…

I’m crawling….

Still crawling away…

Til’ I reach the day…. 

That I…..Can touch your face..again,

Lenore stop running away….

Rest…..

Rest upon my shoulders…

This burden that has been lifted,

Will haunt me forever,

I’m swallowing fear,

I’m tasting tears,

Mayhem from these years,

That you held me dear,

I’m lost without you…..

I am lost without you…..

There’s a Raven on my window,

Telling me to carry on,

Go which ever way the wind blows,

Let the rhythm take you on,

A minor satisfaction, although it shows,

Fly away with me my friend,

Til’ the pain is gone….

Rest…..

Rest upon my shoulders…

This burden that has been lifted,

Will haunt me forever,

I’m swallowing fear,

I’m tasting tears,

Mayhem from these years,

That you held me dear,

I’m lost without you…..

I am lost without you…..

I am lost without you…

From the words of the wise,

Don’t become a sacrifice,

To the god of hatred, love,

Just walk away…into my arms…

I am so lost without you!!!
