Reflections In A Cemetery

Somehow, the deluge of cloudburst unwraps my flesh pallid, as if to spill holy water--maybe thickened dew—just to give a name to lapses of my unheard cries, while an insolent breeze fails to listen as I howl in utter despair of life's requiem: The thistle of wet soil chains my feet anchored unto the swell of memories' bend; remaining distant in an unknown, vacant cemetery nourishing a loneliness only vagrants like me could bear: A scream of rain compels a thirst to feed on abrasions of ghastly pang...alone, isolated from new moonlight's lodging my solitude, my invisible frame starts to sigh behind the roughest of rain's marbled stone--- How can fresh mornings be so darn bleak?

Sounds like a loss deep in the soul. I agree with Kim..."madman or ghost"- powerful, drives empathy into the reader...phantasmic language as well

haunting in its depth Nette, the moan of loneliness in a cemetery of souls...

only vagrants like me could bear…seems a madman or a ghost, perhaps both. The setting somber and wretched. Well done.
