Darkness

The moon shone down on the quiet graveyard

it cast eerie shadows over us

embraced in each others arms

a silhouette as one

on a bed of leaves

the smell of winter dew floats around us

mingled with the fog and mist

....................

the rain pours down, wind screaming and howling

long, twisted fingers tap at my window

calling me, beckoning me outside

to play in the darkness

drawn to the moon and stars

i willingly leave my safe shelter

out into the cold

in the shadows where i reside
