The grave yard song

The grave yard song

A Poem by forevermore1218
"

come with me into the night

"
come with me into the night
and let us watch the spirit's play
a lovely song of dark and mischief 
a song played only at night and not day

come with me and let your soul rise
frolic in the grey fields of soft metallic grass
we must hurry, there is little time
we don't want to miss this great ghost mass

come with me into the land of dead
and watch the spirits rise from the grave
lovely souls that wander this yard
let us listen to this truly joyous rave

come with me and take my hand 
and follow me through the hard stones
feel the chill of rock beneath your feet
and become one with these old bones

come with me and let us dance
for the night does not last long
so let your soul be one and come alive 
as we listen to the grave yard song

I truly adored this piece! It told a wonderful story and could see myself in it as it read each line that followed the last. It tells of anticipation to pick that special someone to share a dance with you in the graveyard late at night, without caring what the world might think or who might see you. It is such a piece that sparked something in my heart...simply beautiful!

I love the feeling this poem evokes...somehow sad and joyous and content at the same time.

I actually read the Graveyard book only recently, a friend of mine gave it to me saying it is amazing... and I did like it very much, as this poem also. It fitts perfectly into the book's ambient, so everyone who loved the book will love this poem.

Great write, keep at the good work!

Eerie poem, and extremely well-written. It's creepy because it is about such a dark topc but has such an upbeat rhyme scheme and almost carefree tone.
It makes me think of the Danse Macabre, or Dance of Death.
I especially liked the last stanza, but the entire thing was expertly-crafted.
Nice description as well: "soft metallic grass," and "the chill of rock beneath your feet."

A pleasure to read your work, as always!

The images you portray here are amazing and powerful, as always! And the dark emotions they evoke fit in perfectly. The ryhthm is good, the rhyming scheme is the one I often use, so everything is awesome as far as I'm concerned! :)
