A dark soul is better than a clear one
A clear soul is so easy to read
A clear soul is so predictable
A dark soul is so complex
A dark soul is so much more attractive
Together in a grave, together in a pit
Dancing in the chilly night, meditating on some mystery
You are my lover Mr. Poe
Hallucinating on an impossible creature, seeing unseen things
Scared of revenants, Petrified by love
You are my dearest ghost Mr. Poe
Your dark soul is of the purest gold this earth can bear
Your words are gems of a long forgotten yet so modern type of writing
Your excellence is such that my jealousy becomes respect and admiration
Where is your grave Mr. Poe, shall I go and take you out of there?
Will I find it empty, just like Morella’s and realize there is another you out there?
Will you wake me up out of my sweet mesmerizing and see my dark hair and scream Ligia?!
Will you be my Berenice and haunt me in my lustful sinful nights?
Will you forget me until I die like the girl in the oval portrait?
How long till you finish disturbing me? How long till I mistaken you for another?
How long till I plant a knife in him and realize it was one of your deeds?
I will not hate you for this
I will just think
It’s my hero Mr.Poe
If I die, promise me you will fetch Dupin, for only he alone can unveil the mystery of my death
Don’t tell me about his obsession for Marie Roget
Just tell me he is over with Mrs. L’Espagnade
Until then I will wait for you Mr. Poe
In the darkest hours of the night, when I think about hateful yet loving of the night you were
I will ask her to be more intense
In the deepest more obscure places, when I think about how yearning and quizzical you were
I will ask them to be more trivial
Sleep well my dearest Poe
You reached your favorite place
But as you see, you have no worries
You can’t wake up, You will not be locked forever
My dearest Poe
You won’t need any thing to get you out
You are not here anymore
You will not be as sick as him
I am here to mourn
Me, Ligiea, Berenice, Elizabeth and the two Morellas
Oh and the blond one too
We will mourn you
You are enjoying the deepest darkest place that vexed you so much when you were alive
I can’t help but wonder how much I will enjoy it too
Please save a place for me Mr. Poe
Oh I don’t mean in hell or Paradise
For I know where I will end up
Just the one spot close to you
I suppose some philosophical conversations 1000 feet underground won’t be too much to ask
If night brings advice
Then where is the sweetest place to receive more than advice?
1000 feet underground of course
Rest well Dear Poe
I will join you soon
We shall exult alone in peace
