Dark moon, shining bright
Decaying tombstones, shadowed light
Howling winds, cold black mounds
Winding catacombs, hidden underground,
Through the graveyard, menacing stones
Walks the wanderer
Alone~
Rotting dead, decaying skulls,
The old stone cross
Grown oh so dull,
Yellowed teeth, decayed bones
Empty eyes, wailing moans
Death called~
Roaring, howling
Cries of pain
Relentless...
Sounding wane
Deafening silence all around
Through the gates
Around the bend...
Death calls
It's in the wind~

Like Reenie, I'm glad I didn't read this at night! Spooky pic'! Very creepy, ominous tone...appropriately morbid for this type of poem. You do these poems TOO WELL! lol Gonna try to shake the cobwebs and eerie feeling now.
Luv Ya!

You're right, I did really enjoy this. Your poem has a far more sinister, necromantic quality to it than my attempt at something dark. That said, you may like 'The Grim Carnival' in my collection- as it is similar in atmosphere to this.
You do a marvellous job of describing a chilling experience and otherworldly darkness. Beautiful -
Susan

Ooooh, how decadent! I like this poem because it strays away from your normal topics of writings. It's nice to see you dip into those morbid thoughts every now and then. This poem would be perfect for Halloween! Good job.

i have seen that picture somewhere before... hehe... i wonder where?...
to me i think this needs a bit more of direction i know where you when i just whant to know how you got there among other questions... the word choice really conveys a feeling though and i like that (and i dont because i am scared)... me...

WHOA! Talk about outta the blue... it's so dark and dreary!!! Sooooooooo not the usual you! LOL
Funny how we both had "catacombs" tonight
HUGS Luv you! -
Image and words are entirely in concord. This is a glimmer (?!) of darkness that lurks behind the surface of decency and civilization. Society prefers to ignore it and that is exactly what it wants. Nevertheless, it is still there. Thank you for creating and sharing. I enjoyed reading. Take care,
