Old Cemetary Road

Luna called to me, during a dark night;

The crows were hauntingly beautiful
Mother moon knew of such misery
that sickened my soul, blackened
the very essence of me.

Full moon wanderings led
this skeletal frame to you-

I was an anorexic love child
starving for someone to adore
just a portion of my dying existence-

Your eyes spoke of a cancerous fever
that dimmed our light, but within a ghostly
audience, we managed to breathe in unison;
Broken birds whisper tales of a new love,
upon a tombstone of a stranger.

Two, pale corpses confess to live
together, forever as one-

In a graveyard on Old Cemetery Road.

note: My Husband and I confessed our love
to each other in a Cemetery On Old Cemetery Road
in Frankfort, New York- Seven years ago.

He was ill when we met, but he wasn't diagnosed
with cancer until 3 months after we married.

We were both dying inside until we met each other..

Our love story has a darkness but thats what makes
he and I continue to love each other daily...
