her name Elenore

willyweed

 A scary good story
Was told unto me


By a man, I could hear
but never did see


He spoke from the shadows
A voice from the dark


T’was a cold winter’s eve
The weather was stark


The tale that he wove
Full of mayhem and more


He murdered his lover
Her name Elenore


Killed in the valley
Throat cut on the plain


Spending time on the water
He hides his pain


Heart full of sorrow
He cries in the rain


His soul it is shattered
Just his fear does remain


He looks to the valley
His heart pines evermore


For his lost lover
The sweet, Elenore!

  • Comment from author about the poem: this is a study of a homicidal maniac who\\\'s compassion cannot go beyond his own feelings, with total disregard for his victims life or desires and wallows in his self pity and the lonely-ness brought on by his actions? a sort of rap of Poe? I hope you enjoy

                  Almost Poe-ish. A stark and scary tale of lost love, lost mind, and murder. A great way to start my week. Somehow I think it's going to get even scarier. A great beginning. A dark tale of deranged murder. Lovely. - Phil A.
