I walk down this road with a heavy load,
A lonesome place, with an unholy grace.
Ahead a graveyard stands, with rocks and sand,
A resting place 'tis said, among the dead.

I seek a bit of calm, a healing balm,
'Tis said the dead heals souls, and that's my goal.
I walk among the graves, trying to be brave,
But no succor do I feel, nothing to heal.

This ancient graveyard, calming grace is barred,
Bright moon shows my shadow, 'tis mine I know.
The moon seems to speak, saying all is bleak,
I feel so alone, something I must atone.

Here is where we came, 'ere fortune came to claim,
Thoughts of her fill my head, and this poem unread.
I want to speak loud, but my head is bowed,
Better things left alone, among these ancient stones.

In this place blood was spilt, but not by guilt,
We spilt blood for our love, and morning doves.
Love died here as well, a lonesome death knell,
Why did I return, when 'twas here she spurned?

Fine imagery of the mood conveyed. I think I spied that graveyard at the dead end a few short blocks from your hovel. Moonlight walk anyone?

I think you meant to say in that last line, "spurned."

Fantastic and I'd say one of your best! Stay out of those graveyards although I've heard that people are dying to get in!

Love ya!

I love the graveyard! It is serene and protective! I feel being protected by the spirits even I don't see them. I love your poetry, Jerry!
