Oracle
A Poem by Krithika Raghavan
 What does a soothsayer see? 
Embers embedded in the future So much that the present is blur The crystal clear premonitions That the oracle envisions Foretells a dark haunting story Sights the slow gradual entry The oracle girl's eyes are as light as breath Her voice was melodious, "I see Death..."

ahh... the future holds something.. i know that... but we don't have to know right... even death we know we all go there... future telling are guides but definitely not our fortune or our future... everything changes depending on what you choose to... fate, chances and coincidence may come along but as long as you are firm of your choices and dreams... then you have a long way to go...

I've written this poem solely for the purpose of giving a haunting feel to my readers. My style usually consists of bringing out peace or other emotions. And this was more or less inspired by a little picture I saw the other day.
But I totally agree with what you have to say.

Haunting last line! :) And I love the line "light as breath."
Woah, that poem is... short?! ...It feels long... I have no idea how I missed how short it was! Anyways, I like it better short :)
You have a lot of good imagery and... haunting-ness here!
