Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of Annabel Lee;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love and be loved by me.


I was a child and she was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea:

But we loved with a love that was more than love--

I and my Annabel Lee;

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven

Coveted her and me.


And this was the reason that, long ago,

In this kingdom by the sea,

A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling

My beautiful Annabel Lee;

So that her highborn kinsman came

And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kingdom by the sea.


The angels, not half so happy in heaven,

Went envying her and me--

Yes!--that was the reason (as all men know,

In this kingdom by the sea)

That the wind came out of the cloud by night,

Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.


But our love it was stronger by far than the love

Of those who were older than we--

Of many far wiser than we--

And neither the angels in heaven above,

Nor the demons down under the sea,

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:


For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

Of my darling--my darling--my life and my bride,

In her sepulchre there by the sea,

In her tomb by the sounding sea.



--- Edgar Allen Poe.

He wishes for the cloths of heaven

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

-- William Butler Yeats

The Luv song......

Dis is like a short journey into my take on luv...wat its done and taught me.....

saw d girl of my dreams in college
was dis luv or just another crush
got to know her
got to luv her and den like her
liked her positives
loved her negatives
dont know what it is that keeps me going back
one fine day i said it and den she said it
life was over in that moment
didnt even flash b4 my eyes
held everything i felt deep within me
lest sumthing was seen...
as a reason to keep away
lest sumthing was perceived
as a wound left open...hurting
didnt even try to forget her
because my heart beats and its hard to ignore
didnt even try to hate her
because dying would have been a easier way out
got into a lot of things i wouldnt have
tring to catch her eye
trying to forget her eyes
those dreams i saw
with all d rest of them
she was always there in them
she was always d reason behind them
dont really know why am penning this down
maybe its my frustration
maybe its my helplessness
whats she feeling for me at dis moment
hate, revulsion or a sort of distant remembrance?
am still in college am still around her
its too little...whatever's left between us
just shattered glasses from a broken friendship
i was to blame and i was to explain
i was always poor at this
was always too scared
too lost to make sense
in the end its all gone wrong
like everything between us
like all the rest behind us
my story ends like dis
luv made sense finally
that luv doesnt make sense
she had to leave
she had enough
she had to go
she had her life to live
i walk on and live my life
i sing along my lonely song
i walk alone; me and my broken song
and i will fade out like my song
nothing here i have to carry along
nobody there but me alone
and i know i will die b4 long
because i can live without my heart...
but for how long........
