GHOST LOVERS
A Verse from an Unfinished Piece
~~//~~
She greets the dawn with Panda’s eyes
Thoughts crossed her mind today
What if evil lurked within the fridge
Places where a ghost may hide
She believes ephemeral spirits know
And wait and wait
No, she would not eat today
Eyes intent through rain soaked window seek
Some inspiration to placate her misery
She remembers love that’s been and gone
Ghosts dream of love that never was
There, reading words within her room
She plays her music loud
No noise will drown away
The echoes of that banging hammer
The day she nailed his corpse of love below the floor

Harlequin Writes (Apr 2012)

Harlequin - nice creepy poem......especially the last line.....thank you for submitting
We wake up suddenly
when dream to precipitate
but yesterday I could not awaken
and continued to fall
in to the void
Then her hands gripped me
Her face was beaming
and the pallor of death
had left her cheeks
"Come on love," he pleaded
"little effort and you are safe
we will stay together
you and me, for eternity"
I tried
groping, fumbling
but ultimately lost the taking
and again the fall
in the icy darkness
I glimpsed her desperate face
away, lost forever
the story of my life
about special occasions I missed all
Paradise is not for people like me
the rest would be enough
eternal rest
for the poor wretches
like me and my sweet love
buried in eternal regret
when dream to precipitate
but yesterday I could not awaken
and continued to fall
in to the void
Then her hands gripped me
Her face was beaming
and the pallor of death

we will stay together
you and me, for eternity"

eternal rest
for the poor wretches
like me and my sweet love
buried in eternal regret

To the “living room” they used to send me
Seated alone with Casper The Friendly
Spooked out by his cherub little ways
The lessons we learned on them Saturdays
How to beware, play fair and float-around white
Showing in the end; a friend.. turning out right
But can’t forget about the murders that happened at night
Stay ghost and at most you’ll just end in a fight
But seeing white sheets NEVER calmed my nerves
Casper’s Friendlies; the most obstinate of perv's
The lynching, the beatings, the mobs rounding curves
Deadly those bullets; epitaphs undeserved
So if & when you get older and creep my son
Have respect for them elders
and live to be one!
Booooooo!
