Haunted Cemetery

The story told by haggard sage, of evil born in days of yore, of blood filled eyes that never age and peer up at their coffin's door. The hunt that fate can never sate now prowls across the foggy moor and slips within the village gate with appetite that must restore. The blood of life that lives and dies and then is born to seek again. A painful truth that never lies; a curse so real it never ends. Another lured to evil's whim, now drawn to eyes they can't resist, reflecting distant candle dim and falling there to life's last kiss.

Dear craigsz, you write dark so well too, its been a while since iv last read something from you , so thought of reading and I absolutely loved this especially the ending! The depth of your lines and how youv conveyed that evil and fate of those tangled in the curse that are caught in the reality of such painful truth that never lies, i read this few times and felt the essence of your poem: and “ lifes last kiss” really did hit strong for me! How powerful! Love reading dark poetry from you too. Whatever theme you write on , you always ensure theres an evocative touch somewhere in your lines which makes your poems stand out! Pleasure reading this, sending you light today and always
