This was the first of my Edgar Alan Poe influenced poems I wrote after Maya Angelou meantored to me for a while, and part of her suggestions, she game me many suggestions, one was to study the writing of edgar Alan Poe. She even told me which things to look for and study in great detail, which I did. (They will be in my Memoirs.) Another favorite influence his writing had on me was the beauty of Ligea, and I wrote several poems about her. I sincerely believe there was never really an Annabelle Lee, but if there was, it was more probably Ligea.

OBLIVION Your head is dead a chamber vast and void and nothing's what you think on anymore forgotten are all things you once enjoyed and are replaced by life the constant bore your brain's been drained you sit alone and stare all hope's run out, your heart is solid stone from night to day and day to night it's there the wish to be forgotten and alone. You think and sink into oblivion not caring if you fade or if you die but only that you shed the shell you're in you've gone beyond the questioning of why. You are the death, the dark of greatest fear the song of life only the dead can hear. © ron wilson aka vee bdosa the doylestown poet

The elders will hold their breaths! Very, very good, though very, very dark like Poe.
