Ghost

Ghost

A Poem by Jason Shadows
"

Your Futures Escape.

"
"Shadows bleeding my walls slithering down
 from the light through the window of life.

 Their eyes cold me into the realm of feeling
 nothingness while the chills run me to the light.

 LOOK - they reap in chilling words of ancient ways
 as darkness approaches with a hissing dragon cane.

 My hands stick to the window again as i whisper
 'please leave me alone' i cannot hide anymore.

 Time used to be my friend but in this story
 it has crossed me like the snake i jumped over.

 So i hold this black rose close to my heart
 reaching into my ghost for freedom again.

 Defeated by my own insanity i cross chaos
 winding the aftertaste of poison on my tongue.

 Killing the moment with sweet bitter cries
 ring the feeling of losing all so dear for fear.

 This demon is only me in my isolation
 where the world stops to waste my mind.

 Forever i cling to my soul where the dead
 hold me from falling into their world.

 But i wake every morning to find myself
 holding the cane and crying to let it go."

This is amazing. Its so deep and dark. Trying to escape a world not your own, maybe it is your own? Still pondering this great piece of yours. I really do enjoy reading your work as much as I enjoy reviewing it, thank you for sharing my friend.

LOOK - they reap in chilling words of ancient ways
as darkness approaches with a hissing dragon cane.
