Death Kills most Except those already dead Set me free From my demons Kill me Cemetery A garden Of dead bones Tall beautiful stones Ravens fly Roses die For the forgotten Both soul and vegetation rotten Silent Gardens I wonder amongst strangers still Soon to be good friends of will Surrounded by black doves and flowers sky blue As I am laid close beside them soon enough With a grey tall stone dedicated To whatever tiss I was Hoist a few Laugh if you will There is a spot here for you too Silent death in Cemetery Gardens In the distance Bagpipes and drummers sound of Autumn air brings the chills Down to the bones Of those above and Those below Amongst the wind, the trees and sweet breeze Life runs by with a smile As death silently kisses me on the lips Enticed by tranquil gardens and angelic dreams On broken wings would I fly As my dreams tumble and fall Into the grave where I now lie

Excellent, Arthur!! It was a pleasure reading these to the sound of bagpipes playing in the background. I too love cemeteries, even though it's not reflected in my writing. ~ Regards // paul

"Do not ask for whom the bell tolls??" As long as that kiss is silent is the best we can hope for Arthur. I wish I could be as accepting as you seem.

Hi Arthur, an excellent write on a theme a lot of people don't even want to think about. There can be a true beauty in death. This write has such wonderful content and there is a tranqil peace one can find in your words. The most peaceful place i have found to be is a cemetery. Come night, i do take that back. This is a great concept Arthur. A well thought out, well written poem. This is a definite seven....Mike

You are too kind, but I too love to wander in cemeteries, I often wonder and dream about the lives of the ones passed on.
