I went in search for …..
….. the spirit of Poe
to maybe get a feel
one little inkling
as I saw an artifact
of his creation
before me
some sign
left behind
or a hidden treasure
not yet discovered
for me to realize ~
~ what I did see
what I did feel
was no surprise to me
but more a sense
of familiarity
the struggle of life
the wants
the hopes
the dreams
along with the triumphs
and failures …..
….. emotional pains
sorrows
the joy and
the loss of love
the need to express
the experience of it all
through the spirit
of words ~
~ and this
type of spirit
is something
both Poe and I
have in common
