Upon a graveyard he does walk
A big iron gate with a broken lock
Pushing it open, inside he goes
A childs laughter floating by as the wind blows
Row after row of unmarked tombs
And on the ground, black, dead blooms
At the end is an empty grave
And upon the marker, his name engraved
Turning swiftly at a little sound
Tiny children circle round
Their eyes are black, and skin so white
The evil in their stares, glowing in the night
In each small hand is a blade
Held by fingers, dead and decayed
As they come closer he tries to flee
Falls to the ground, a knife in his knee
Upon his body they descend
So much pain, unable to defend
His broken body they destroy
Laughter filled with sadistic joy
His remains they throw in the shallow hole
And there shall rest his immortal soul
To their own graves they now go to sleep
A vigil on this land they forever keep

A very gothic feel to this. The murder seems so meaningless...without a point. Which, to me, seems like the point.
Well written piece...definitely got a dark feel from this. |

Wow I cannot say enough how this mesmerized me truly amazing. This should be in the dictionary under creepy as well as under beautiful. "Held by fingers, dead and decayed" That line filled me with such happiness it is difficult to describe. I honestly don't know how to express how I liked this poem in words.
