A Living Ghost On Paper

No one

Could ever pinpoint his earthly movements

He chose to

Remain unseen

While he was constantly daydreaming

To become inanimate

In the flesh

By no stretch of the imagination

Would he ever surface

Unless he choose to do so

Everyone he knew

Was looking for him

Yet they never had a clue

He had been right up under their noses

Gazing at the gracious blue skies

Of a mysterious presence conspiracy

They never saw him clearly

Because all who knew him dearly

Never chose to look at

The Living Ghost On Paper

From a bird's eye view

Speculation hadn't even

Had its chance too

Shed its light on this

Living shadowy ghostly figure

Because in all reality

He was a myth that cleverly

Choose to be nonexistent

Except on a pair sacred scrolls

Within The Life Book Of False Pretenses

Oh, I really enjoyed this one. Is this your reply to my comments yesterday, I wonder. Well, a mysterious poem that draws your reader's interest. I am chuckling a little as I feel you're delving deeper while working at keeping a sense of ambiguity. Well penned, my friend!

Nice piece. You've left a lot of this up to the reader, which is a nice touch, in my opinion, and your imagery is superb. I normally look for things to correct you on, but there's nothing - really, very well done.

I found this to be an interesting piece. I was actually able to relate to the being you describe very well. This is very descriptive and fires the imagination.
