Ghouls and Lovers

The howling wind a wolf's lament

hidden moon behind gray clouds

a solitary light cuts through thin fog

passing cherubs in quiet repose

guardian angels with blank faces

 

Flower wreaths of scented death

fading petals of love's remembrance

fallen hopes and dreams depart

mortal remains turn to dust

the silent earth soon embraces

Beguiling calm hides the madness

of a tortured soul at mid nights hour

pick and shovel his only companions

a fresh mound their final destination

his lover's bed of eternal rest

 

Dirt filled nails claw into the past

pain and tears rip open the soul

a gaping chasm welcomes me

If love be ****** then so be I

life without you is not worth living
