Graveyard scene

by Grant Gilbert AKA Slash   Jan 2, 2009


Graveyard scene

Midnight specters rise once more
Moonlight shadows upon the floor
Tombstone sentinels stand on guard
Wilted flowers out in the yard

Eerie sounds move through the trees
As gentle winds caress the leaves
A hooded owl calls to his mate
"We need to hunt its getting late"

No drunken vagrants spoil this night
Graveyard scene in bright moonlight
Tranquil scene, peace all around
Blood drips slowly to the ground

A funeral pyre is proudly built
The fire lit for the blood I spilt
Your undead body bound and tied
Tossed to the flames, in joy I cried

"BURN IN HELL"

    Thanks for the explanation Grant. Certain words are just unkown to me and therefore I misunderstood the message of the whole poem:)

    You know Grant,

    I have read this poem many times and it is not written by the kind man I know.
    I suppose you have some way to justify what you wrote and people who commented to it enjoyed it because they don't know whom it is written for.
    Some "killings" are fun when all parties agree the verdict was right. But you know, my friend..so many people in this world are slaughtered like animals or put to death after years in death row and many years later they find out by using dna samples that they were innocent after all.
    You should take a look inside and ask yourself what made you write this.
    I have been hurt deeply so many times, but on my account you will find no poems that are aggressive, they only express the hurt I felt. We are all human Grant, with our flaws and virtues. Only God is perfect.
