A BLANKET OF ORANGE & RED

Among the tombstones,

Butterflies are aflutter.

A blanket of orange & red

falls to cover the green.

Sighs cut the silence

Like a sharp knife.

Beneath the ground,

The Dead wait.

The leaves lift in the wind,

Twirling to form shapes.

BUTTERFLIES AFLUTTER

Butterflies are aflutter

among the tombstones.

Leaves cover the green

in shades of orange & red.

Sighs cut the silence

like a sharp knife.

Beneath the ground,

The Dead wait.

The leaves lift in the wind,

twirling to form shapes.

Butterflies flee

the peaceful scene.

No need to fear,

The Dead are here.

BLOODTHIRSTY DEMONS

Source:socialpsychopathblr

Grim reaper stands over me,

Where The Dead have come to be.

Blood won’t be my drink of choice,

Not if I have any voice.

I will go down with a fight.

I refuse to take a bite.

No bloodthirsty demon down here.

No reason to have any fear.

SHY CEMETERY

 (Source: tanrhombus)

A cemetery so shy

the dead and gone pass it by.

The graves hide in shame

from its silly name.

No mausoleums to grace it,

or fine tombstones to enhance it.

Please stay away from here.

The dead don’t want you near.

LET ME OUT

End House holds secrets.
It holds living beings in its walls.
Creatures dying to get out.
Screaming without sound.
Pushing their arms and legs
through the walls,
hoping to escape.
But there’s no escape.
The guests of the party will
soon discover the sad truth.
No one leaves the house
without resulting consequences.
And some may not leave at all.
Who will live?
Who will die?
Only The Dead know.

SHINE IN THE DARK

ravensquiffles

Wait for the night.

The moon’s fall.

The sun’s retreat.

The Dead’s time.

To bask in the shadows.

To shine in the dark.

From inside mausoleums.

From below the earth.

Shine for me.

ALONE IN A CEMETERY

Would you walk alone in
a cemetery at night?
With the mist swaying
and the wind moaning.
Shadows appearing before you
and then behind you.
Are they leading you somewhere or
following in your hesitant footsteps?
A statue looms in the distance.
A very tall statue.
Taller than any of the
gravestones or mausoleums.
Now the statue is moving,
coming closer to me.
Time to run!
Walking in a graveyard at night
didn’t turn out to be such a good idea.
Ouch!
It scratched me!
