Maidens of the Dark

Eerie silence
Cemetery sound
Rolling mist
Over sacred ground
 
Moonlit night
Shadowing tree's
Temperature lowering
Chill like breeze
 
On the top of a mound
Through the mist they came
A trio in white
Of bloodless veins
 
Lifeless eyes
Staring ahead
This trio of white
The walking dead
 
Summoned by
Their darkened black
Too far they came
They can't go back
 
In deathly pleasure
Before the dawn
With their darkened master
The dead reborn
 
The night fades
Into morning new
The dark now bright
The living in view

Very intriguing, ghostly visions set in a somewhat spooky site. I'm wondering if these are vampires, zombies or some other non-life entities. Very nicely penned, James! Love, Carolyn

Wow James,this one actually raised goose bumps on my arms.Such a great write though I was thinking that the line "Summoned by" might sound better if it read instead it read "Summoned from" to blend in with the next line "thier darkened black". But this is only a suggestion from this lowly little poet,LOL! Either way I truly enjoyed this and might I add that I love cemetaries though this might give me cause to avoid them at night.
