To the Graveyard.

The ones who living come today 

To read the stones and go away 

Tomorrow dead will come to stay.

A place of disasters,heartbreaks and crime

All gathered there,forgotten in time

Broken fences and snow blanket grave stones 

One by one, laid rhythms of statues in rows.

Burials in weather worn words

Lived chilled to the moss in the passage of years 

With the roads,cars passing by,

no-one’s been up there

Nobody really cares.

Among the memorials, there I stand digging 

In the sands of time,in search of something 

Almost six feet under the ground

Lies your skeleton holding mine;the wilderness cracked and browned.

Despite the softness and  the silence

Above the solitude and endless white 

Our bones ended up next to each other

Because you not touching me is to suffer.
