Third Place

Strange Place

Inspired by the song Strange World
By Iron Maiden, 1980

in my dream I am lost
wondering if I have crossed
the moon shines on shrouds
in a sky swirling with clouds
I am beautiful in this eerie place
my mind is tranquil and full of grace
the cemetery is now dawn
blown clouds welcome a mauve yawn

I am weeping for love past

I am searching each tomb
as black birds fill this place with gloom
who is that following . . .  a vampire man 
if not a dream I would have ran
a church seems to beckon to me
oh, is he in there . . .  is my desperate plea
I enter and whisper can you hear me dear
my painted red lips tremble with fear

I am weeping

for a love gone, grieving

now I am leaving . . . 
                   with eyes as blue
                             as a sky azure blue . . .
