Poe Mosaic by Mike Keith, created using pieces of illustrations

Unnamed Narrator
What will be your thought
On the events having thus taken place
You, who come and dwell
Among the demented and the wicked
To watch the darkness descend
But wait,
There is no gloom here
Only the warm glow of candles
Lighting an expression of love
The love you have sorely missed
For Life’s cruel fingers have torn it from you
But stay, and rejoice
For the pleasures of another
Can love in you rekindle
Listen to the whispers
Do you think the words sentimental?
They come from hearts that are flowing
You long to be enfolded
So languid and inviting is the embrace
Yet your heart turns cold
You will close your eye
To the love
And write of the madness
