Found With No Soul

?12/?29/?2015 The scent of death was in the air Insects and worms were already there The fog in the night held a clingy crud The body I found was drained of blood The body had been beaten The face had been eaten The mouth was open the tongue was gone The head was split I could see the bone The animals had been there, and they hadn't been kind In two more days, there would be nothing to find This may be a clue, I found a purse She came in a boat but will leave in a hearse I found black nail polish and black lipstick Then in my mind, it started to click This was the wife of the Grave diggers son He too had been beaten and shot with a gun They had joined a Cult, the Initiation was that night They both tried to get out with all their might Too much had been revealed, secrets had been told The bodies were no longer needed, their Souls had been sold

Hey Skat, Thanks for your comment, That is the first one I've written that wasn't funny. Felt kinda spooky going there in my mind. Written for broken wings contest. TKS

That was the first thing I ever wrote that wasn't funny. Feels weird. Broken wings is having a contest "Deep and Dark" has to bee new. Throw something out there. I know you can. Merry New Year.
