We Curse The Living, We Mourn The Dead: 5 Poems

The foundation was cast and now it meant
the mystery would be secure for this fallen gent.
I walk here everyday but do not repent.
His remains were mixed in with wet cement!

---

Down at the quarry we were all alone.
With the haste of my actions I heard her moan.
She'll never again see her fiance Fred
and under the water went poor Sally's head!

---

For those who get on and endure the ride
this carousel offers what life denied
and perpetual motion remains a surprise.
The dead keep moving in counter clockwise!

---

In my ghostly return to even this bet
your skin is prickly so I've made you sweat
and still you try but cannot sleep
in knowing you felt my life was cheap.

---

He captured her lifeless body in an eternal pose
and brought this chapter of murder to a close
on a canvas commemorating the scene of the crime.
The 'Brush stroke' killer had struck one more time!

well

as we curse the living and mourn the dead, we forget to live our own lives.

I really think your writing is good

I think your writing is great.but the subject matter is morbid to me anyways, I,m strange tho I don't like any read if it's about murder or killing anyone or anything,
