Grave Curiosity

Fog so dense, within iron fence, hides bloody scenes from curious teens. Righteous souls, this place can't hold, but evils loom in graveyard doom. Angel's death brought them to rest. Bodies bound in hallowed ground. Spirits rise neath moonlit skies. A phantom chill in midnight still. They feed on fear and salt of tear. From the mist, a ghostly kiss. Boneless fingers; touch that lingers up the spine Creep to the mind. Dare to roam through chiseled stone, with no escape; they've locked the gate.

This is an eerie one! Spine tingling throughout. Love the 'curious teens', they would be the ones trying to see what is going on past the fence.

Kinda spooky reading this in Christmas season. I liked this a lot, totally in the mood. Welcome back, BTW! I see you were gone for a while based on the dates on your poems.

Love it!! I used to work in a cemetery and during the day it was a peaceful place to be . . . but night -- it all changed . . . death reigned supreme! OK, sleeping with the light on tonight!!
