Literature Text

Bury the dead,
For life’s forsaken across
The vast plains. Six feet
Under the ground
Where ghouls crawl abound

While corpses rise up
To the graveyard’s top
Purging, the borders
Of the night’s mausoleum,
Engraving the names of
People beyond
The restless grave

Where shadows lurk
And demons smirk
Away from the Holy See
While judgment is averted
Towards the light,

Wailing. Gasping.
For a final breath
Across serenity,
Guard the cemetery.

I love this imagery, it really caught my eye and kept me reading. It was full of mystery, with a nice, melodic tone of voice.
