Maidens of the Dark

Eerie silence Cemetery sound Rolling mist Over sacred ground Moonlit night Shadowing tree's Temperature lowering Chill like breeze On the top of a mound Through the mist they came A trio in white Of bloodless veins Lifeless eyes Staring ahead This trio of white The walking dead Summoned by Their darkened black Too far they came They can't go back In deathly pleasure Before the dawn With their darkened master The dead reborn The night fades Into morning new The dark now bright The living in view http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/myth-fantasy.php

Very intriguing, ghostly visions set in a somewhat spooky site. I'm wondering if these are vampires, zombies or some other non-life entities. Very nicely penned, James! Love, Carolyn

Wow James,this one actually raised goose bumps on my arms.Such a great write though I was thinking that the line "Summoned by" might sound better if it read instead it read "Summoned from" to blend in with the next line "thier darkened black". But this is only a suggestion from this lowly little poet,LOL! Either way I truly enjoyed this and might I add that I love cemetaries though this might give me cause to avoid them at night.
