An old rock wall
With an iron gate.
I pass on through
Then hesitate.
...
Skewed thoughts
Twisted hearts
Kisses incomplete
Bodies void, contact
...
The Tale Of The Old Green Lady
An old rock wall
With an iron gate.
I pass on through
Then hesitate.
Age…ed headstones
Covered with moss.
Eerily do I…………
………come across.
The cool night fog
Hangs damp and still.
I wonder what’s……….
…………..upon that hill.
A large oak tree
Moon lit yet shady.
Gives refuge to
The Old Green Lady.
Her clothes are ragged
Tattered and torn.
And on her feet
Leather boots are worn.
A black knit shawl
Hung o’er her shoulder.
For as night wanes,
The air grows colder.
Rising slowly……….
……….As she dances.
She fades into
The twisted branches.
A scarier site
I’ve yet to see.
That Old Green Lady
Has frightened me.
Anxious though
And tempting fate.
I’ll return tomorrow
………..Lest I be late.
Would you care to join me?
