Lovers Graveyard

Melt into existence 
Coverings the distance 
Between the past and present 
Where space so black
Is sucking hole's beneath the fabric
The spinning cycle on a washing machine 
Can never clean or drown out the scent
Of banished lovers who cloud the night
With semaphores and silken glove's
Signaling to car alarms and shepherds horns 
Come and claim the higher ground
On which to place the sacred stones 
Of fields of Athernry and lovers lost graveyards
