What does howl in blackest night
Headstones, aglow in pale moonlight
Whilst spirits wander, invisible sights
Taunting, in their whirling flight

Those who lie here, they have said
Are really not the ones so dead
For they’ve come from their earthly bed
To wreak the havoc, fill with dread

You, who doesn’t believe so true
Until they claim the breath you drew
Leaving you to wonder who
Took your soul, your heart, no clue

Was left behind in their devilish wake
Underfoot, the ground does quake
As you slip away, you begin to shake
Realizing this was your mistake

That dealt the hand and held your card
You drift away, put down your guard
Now you join them, ravenous, and scarred
Dancing in the old graveyard

Her spirit lingered, much like the mist that covered the sacred ground of the fallen. They were scattered among the mundane, the ones with no name, who were buried haphazardly among the royals. She was neither. She was free to roam, free to frighten those who thought themselves better. On nights like these, she would make her way out of the graveyard, between the headstones, watching them fall to pieces as she snaked her way through. One touch and she could end them all, but she preferred to play. Callously, entering houses, knocking over fine antiques, without a care, she wreaked her havoc among the living. Children ran, women screamed and men cowered, yet they could not see her, they only felt her wrath as she slipped by. And as the sunlight approached, and darkness began to fade, she would make her way back to her surreptitious place, buried among the dead….

….But this time she wasn’t alone.

 

Should I continue?  Or leave as is?  I’ll let you decide 🙂

Hear the whispers of the ancient’s call

Echoing softly between these walls

Covered in vines, bathed with the light

Eternity frolics with sheer delight

Beckoning you to dance with him here

As visions of heavenly flora appear

Seducing you further, down the hall

Beguiling, entrancing, making you fall

Into his haunting, unending embrace

Leaving no whisper, no echo, no trace

beyond-1399167_960_720
I am here, my love, forever

See me in the light of the sun

Imagine warmth in the cold morning air

Remember, you’re my only one

My spirit will always comfort you

Whenever the world lets you down

And life is filled with much despair

Always, my soul shall surround

You’ll feel my arms encompass you

Though my body you cannot touch

Feeling my presence ever near

Knowing I love you so very much

Behind the mist, the story’s told

Are stranded souls and hearts so cold

Left to wander, o’er this lake

Leaving behind, they can forsake

The bitter truth, of broken dreams

Drowned in waters, still, serene

Covered over, silent graves

Where spirits sunder, never save
