POETICALLY NAKED

Just Stone

JUST STONE

The gargoyles sit in place
Wicked swirls of Dragon grace
Stone heads Mark there graves
Graveyard watchers
Up high in place
Wind as still as deaths face
Howling still fills the night
Silent in death
As in life
No one ever heard the cries
Everyone turned their eyes
Wasn't hard to speak the lies
Until life dies
Now in slumber
In peace they sleep
No longer helpless and weak
Now they watch and keep them safe
Gargoyles grim face
Sleep on little child
No one knows
I'll keep the watch for a while
The beauty is in what's cold
The love that's held deep in stone
No one knows the pain you know
No one cared or tried.
Chisel out the gargoyles face
Let the stone switch its place
Keep the secret to the grave
Forever watched
Forever saved
Just the stone
I fear not
In hell your souls forever caught
Sleep well gargoyle this day
For the cold is just stone in the day
