My breath, alas has left me! I see you with your flowing brown locks and eyes of the brightest green. I gaze at you and yearn for our lips to meet. But never will that happen, to a man like me! You deserve much better, then what i, a humble peasent, can ever hope to see! True, i may be humourous, i may be kind. But ne'er do you look at me with glee. You glance or look and smile. But only for a second then you return to your flock. I wait for you, outside the palace. Ahh, the beat of my heart in harmony with the clock. You leave the gates, glance at me then smile. I look and my heart swims. You approach! Your hair blowing in the soft breeze. You float towards my joyous self. Your eyes, how they shine. I stumble over my feet. You laugh and speak. You tell of your love for me. Then invite me for dinner today. Alas, you took my breath away. |
His face, 'twas mangled his right leg crippled.
Had a permanent cold. All he did was hack and cough and weeze.
One night however, he fell to the floor. He lay for hours.
Then thought to himself, "A new heart is what i need."
He arose, coughed once more. Took his jacket and went out the door.
He smiled and laughing wildly, dragged his shovel to the graves.
The creature, hacking as he unearthed corpses. Found his body.
It was a male, in a red suit, freshly buried the night before.
His wife a fine lady, Elanor
The madman with a gleam in his good eye, looked over the body.
He smiled his crooked smile.
He reached into his pocket, he pulled out a knife.
An incision he made, to cut out the mans heart.
He reached in to remove the organ when suddenly, from behind him.
A women dressed in white, Elanor!
The man was afraid, it was late in the night.
The women merely smiled and gazed at the man on his knees in the hole.
Man and women locked into eachothers gaze, ne'er moving.
The woman began to weep, the creature hacked and pulled himself from the grave.
He approached, she hissed "Back you vile thing!" then he heard a sound from the grave...
The man rose from the coffin his heart hung out, he cackled and shrieked as the other hellions creeped.
Demon skulls and headless specters arose from grave after grave.
From the bowels of hell, the abominations surrounded the creature, as hideous as he was.
They howled and moaned and shrieked louder and louder. Lady Elanor smiled and uttered a howl of her own.
That's when the madman remembered, the lady died the month before!
Elanor circled him her ribs now protruding from holes in her carcass.
The hideous beast of a man stumbled and sat at the foot of the mans grave.
They found him the next day, slumped in the grave a look of horror on his face.
The townsfolked gathered at his funeral, the preacher read from his book.
Then everyone hung there heads as the coffin was lowered.
Even the man in the red suit, and the lady dressed in white.
