Lolitas in 1952

And i sat beside your grave on a
dark stormy night, cold and alone...

"For whom does the bells toll Mr. Poe"

Deep down I knew you wouldnt answer
(Even if you were alive today)
You would probably say that I already knew

I close my eyes

"Yes...Yes I do know"

It was not me who opened my eyes

I was not myself anymore

the turbulency of the bells ringing against my soul
Moaning and groaning and groaning and moaning

"The bells toll for you and me"

"For everybody"

Like loving and losing your own Annabel Lee

And my manacles ring ring ring
like the bells you bring

I am a prisoner in a pocket
Jingling-jangling with skeletons and lockets

Trapped in the runic rhyming of time
Not trusting anymore the powers divine

I am trying...
I am escaping...

"Like loving and losing your own Annabel Lee" (In her sepulchre there by the sea). I love the Edgar Allan tintinnabulation, in your Poe-esque bells; the subtle chilling ring. And even w/out the mention of the repeating name Humbert Humbert, in the...

..."Moaning and groaning and groaning and moaning" pulsations, the rhythms the image is still felt; still there. I love the last two lines: reminds me of Beckett's "Waitig For Godot". Well done.

a mish mash of great poe-esque tomfoolery....runic rhyming and raven nibbling; haunted like Poe's quivering eye....love this sinister piece
