There among the stones <br /> <br />Lies a single red rose <br /> <br />Without a name <br /> <br />Trace or date <br /> <br />The tombstone has been erased <br /> <br />A body lies deep and cold <br /> <br />Surely I would remember <br /> <br />Such a lovely rose <br /> <br />OH but this one <br /> <br />This one I shall tend <br /> <br />I shall bring flowers <br /> <br />In remembrance <br /> <br />Of my long ago friend <br /> <br />To the tears I often shed <br /> <br />To the anger I try to forget <br /> <br />I shall come to the stone <br /> <br />With no name <br /> <br />Just a marker <br /> <br />Standing <br /> <br />That calls my name <br /> <br />I'd swear I heard a whisper <br /> <br />A cry in the night <br /> <br />Coming from the marker <br /> <br />I grabbed my light <br /> <br />Kneeling down <br /> <br />Caught by surprise <br /> <br />I seen so many <br /> <br />Roses in the night <br /> <br />Gathering round the stone <br /> <br />With no name <br /> <br />Whispers came <br /> <br />From beyond the grave <br /> <br />Shadows and orbs shinning bright <br /> <br />Surrounded the tombstone <br /> <br />To listen tonight <br /> <br />Oh how the cries <br /> <br />Seemed soft as the rain <br /> <br />Coming from the stone <br /> <br />With no name <br /> <br />Every night since that day <br /> <br />The shadows of the dead <br /> <br />Gather round <br /> <br />Listening to the weeping sound <br /> <br />The sound of the rose <br /> <br />Without a name <br /> <br />Lying cold <br /> <br />Within this grave <br /> <br /> <br />S.R.B.W.<br /><br />Tear Of An Angel S.R.B.W.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-marker-with-no-name/
