A Helping Hand Among the Dead

Fictive graveyard on rusting hills
The cold winter breeze; freezing
Leaves, stone, and sudden chills
The sights are not appeasing
Knuckles white, clenching breast
Disease looms behind me
Breath catches; I can't feel my chest
In here, no one could ever find me
If death had a head
It is here it would rest
Lounging king among the dead
Decaying hands begin to crest
Bodies form from filthy holes
Graves no longer full
Decrepit beings; my vim they stole
My legs I cannot pull
Stuck in hell; the Devil laughing
I think I see a light
Cloudless sky; my eyes are mapping
There is no moon, just night
I hear a voice; angelic call
I see her hands reaching
Keeping me from the inevitable fall
Darkness, her fingertips breaching
I'm carried out, somehow intact
Her grace knows no bounds
She was my savior, that's now a fact
Gently we touch ground
A whisper sounded; a voice restrained
A silence just for two
"I fear, my angel, I know not your name
But I love you, and that's the truth."

| Ah ha! I think I may have found a poet. Your rhyme scheme works VERY well. Not cutesy instead it adds power to a powerful theme. I did get confused at the word breaching. What were trying to convey? This poem gives one hope and that it is a good thing to pass on to readers. I look forward to reading more. Good job. Hautebush |
