An Anatomy Of a Ghost

I've got myself.

In a sand hole.

Lucky for me.

I got all the light I need.

Satellights in fist.

Circled by sand fish.

In my defence.

There is future complications.

Sand and hope I swollow.

But I got a hollow.

Got it for my head.

Before I go to bed.

And if the lions choose to play.

I'll spare a breath, if I may?

Turn the lights low.

Take my life now.

It's to late to pull together.

Here comes the weather.

Observations.

Obligations.

Face the fact.

I'm falling back.

Concrete eyes.

Stood as the sky.

Over the moon is the sun.

Falling down on me as one.

With such blinding light.

I saw a impossoble sight.

An angel i do tell.

It appears he might have fell.

With wings so dark.

Eyes lacking heart.

"You do not belong here".

My body shivers in fear.

All I know is I was last at home.

Protecting my family from men unknow.

Are they okay.?

Where are they?

I got shot ones in the chest.

"You do not need to know the rest".

But just tell me where is this place

"I'm sorry you've been dead since 1958"

i found one i haven't read. once again, your poetry ceases to amaze me. great job, as usual.

[The Mad Prophet]

Very dreamscapy at first. Then moving into an unique way of describing death. Very well writen, very well expressed. Great job.

[K C Scott]

Pretty dark.
This was a fun read for me. Very nice! I'm curious, though. Reika said she wants to listen to that song. What song?
Again, good poem!
:)

[Legion]

A few rhymes that seemed a bit coerced, but other than that a damn good write. I like the story line although a bit sad for the protaganist. Well done.

[Reika]

aw, that's sad.
It kind of makes me wonder
about what it feels like to be a ghost...
confused about whether or not i'm alive
or where i am...

(it also makes me want to listen to that song now [what it feels like to be a ghost - taking back sunday]...)
