Through the Blind Eye
Whisper, whisper, ear to ear
creaking boards and hushing winds
Bang on the door that once was Poe's
With deep dark secrets
In the thick black night
There is more loss of blood
Then there was a loss of mind
Through the pounding boards and matching heart
That drove him out of lies
Or the heavy velvet curtain
In the room of death of red
Amidst secluded ball of masks
Chased to the brink of one last breath
Finally, he reaches the pen point
The end is in the beholders eye
Not often that of anothers
Take the bird of prey from sight
He may hear it mock forever
Yet eye will see it, nevermore
For Poe!
