Lost Lenore (A Tribute To Poe) Poem by Edmund V. Strolis
Lost Lenore (A Tribute To Poe)
This can not be, this news is false, a hideous grotesque lie of the cruelest kind.
I held her in a warm embrace only yesterday, a mere handful of hours before this scarred moment.
What is this impossible wall that is my existence, where time in concrete freezes for eternity.
Turn back this earthly clock, the portal of Hades is gaping. Tear this page from life's hideous story.
Which, until now, was bliss like no joy has ever been from time's first moment forward!
I would be absolved by the coldest of hearts for killing the messenger that has ended me!
For delivering hell itself to the doorstep of my shattered reality
This garden gate once merrily opened, sealed shut as certain as a buried and root encased tomb....... gone, forever more.

I remember having studied Poe's poem Lenore! The poet pays a tearful tribute to his dear wife who died premature! Though initially he feels that his life is shattered, he soon comes to compromise with her death and feels relieved that she is freed from the torments of earthly life and from her detractors and would be enjoying bliss in Heaven! This version of your poem makes a beautiful annex to Poe's poem! Enjoyed!
I am so glad to hear that you are familiar with Edgar Allan Poe. The more that I learn about his life and his philosophy the more impressed I am. He is also mentioned for his scientific observations regarding the universe. He has also gained the distinction of having written the first murder mystery. Inspiring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and of course his creation Sherlock Holmes. Thank you so much for the wonderful comments!
