So I needed 4 more credits to graduate and my school said I could just take a class at CC to satisfy my requirements so I have a creative writing class and the teacher publishes a small book each year for distribution in the community. She liked my poem and wants to put it in the book, what do you guys think of it?
I Did The Work And Dug The Grave
By: Jason
Standing alone upon the road
The gravel traveling 'neath my feet
I see the The Devil's mask, a mortal's task
I have been humbled by deceit
A shadowed fog does now descend
The murdered midnight screams
A slivered moon destroys the darkness
Infects, dissects my dreams
Outside the frozen rope of time
The charred and chained remains
With winters bite they shall ignite
In a cold and lonesome flame
I did the work and dug the grave
Pulled a poisoned past apart
Returned and burned all that I'd learned
Before I did depart
Blown by furious storm, soul so worn
Seeking shelter from this pain
I recall the site, a touch so light
Was like a ghost upon my brain
A voice so clear, "come close don't fear"
Lead me deep into the ground
Where I found a space, a forgotten place
I disappeared without a sound.
