A Stormy Night

Inspired by the one and only, Edgar Allan Poe

A storm is brewing

In the nigh'

Of summer bliss

And dying eye

 

The clouds blow east

And also west

The rain dips down

Upon my breast

 

I wish that I

Could walk with you

Through the coldness

And subdue

 

Unto this nigh'

And fly away

For my life

Is  disarray

 

I sleep not one wink

Past midnight

For you have power

To ignite

 

The flame within

My ghastly soul

And even you

Cannot console

 

So I will lie awake tonight

And wish of birds

And calm to flight

For I have no words

 

Left

To sink in deep

For you to hold

Now let me sleep

 

A storm is brewing

In the nigh'

Of summer bliss

And dying eye

 

The clouds blow east

And also west

The rain dips down

Upon my breast

 

I now see

Forevermore

You are now mine

To ignore

 

And through the streets

Of summer heat

I am alone

Cannot be beat

 

So finally

I come to terms

With this life

And it confirms

 

Reality

As a wicked tale

Of loss

To prevail

I come to terms
with this life
And it confirms.
Speaks volumes.
