Dark and Mystical
The sun-deserted earth, darkness night bears
A small way in the trees, easy to walk in there
Where there's a cemetery not so old in years
Where spiders crawl and serpents slither
The sands of time have seen it wither.
Dark storm strikes down the grass with rain
Two lovers, young and lush, pranced unchained
Pulled by the desire and the passion not drained
Lost in each other’s eyes, chaos in skies insane
Come to the Gothic Gate for shelter under a crane.
Heard voices of starving souls needing their fills
The lovers make a devilish wish with thrills until
The gate opens wide to enter at their free wills
With joyous cries of making love, their shadows spill
Fornicating in graveyard, ravenous souls on kill.
Lying on the ground, feeling the weather’s chill
The rain stops, they see star-stitched sky refilled
Waning moon above, their passions sing and spill
Can’t see the ravenous world around waiting to kill
Hands came up from the ground, the lovers killed.
