Creepy Old Cemetery

Creepy Old Cemetery

The gathering took place,
Yet there was no meeting scheduled,
Nor human face to see,
In the harrowed graveyard
Where the murdered lay,
Before the curse of all that went away
Into the sorry sky.

The leaves on the grounds
Rustled in the silence,
As red glows with piercing eyes
Gathered out of nowhere,
From somewhere unspeakable
Unknown to this world.

They converged as darkness fell
Through the moon-filled night.
Who they were
One could not say,
Just a mystifying sight
By the creepy old graves.

I think the title sets the atmosphere before you even start reading this one Shadows!

i like it also... the anticipation of the meeting, and its mysterious purpose. two things i noticed are: "Gathered out of nowhere, From somewhere unspeakable" - somewhere is from a place, nowhere isn't; and, "They converged as darkness fell/Through the moon-filled night." - it's apparent the night is dark... perhaps twilight through morning, or two different things. again, love the murder plot twist, and the subtle cues!

I feel like there's a longer narrative piece that wants to get out of what you have here. I like the imagery in the second stanza, but the third seems to end it too quickly. I feel like there's more to be said here.
