Graveyard - Renz In The Woods

30 Days of Fright Writing Challenge: Day 6 - Atmosphere

he said at midnight

delay not to be allowed

must not disobey.

lone bell tower tolls

gate screech echoes in the gloom

clouds shred dim moonlight

ground mist leads the way

gravel crunch with step by step

thick shadow masks breath

bone chill damp horror

lifeless darkness enables

dread - the death awaits

nearer to the tomb

cold stone bodes the future and

bleak despair enfolds

gray hands stretch outward

beckon me close - fate at last

I am here, master
