Ghost of a Fox

Ghost of a Fox

A Poem by Grinningdog
"

Hi all, This is a working progress! Please feel free to ask questions and give feedback as I think a lot of it is still in my head, at the moment!

"

Living shroud, you conceal her, grey and smiling,

Betrayed by her form, the beautiful and beguiling,

Green eyes to the shine, a moment to save,

The ghost of a fox treads lightly on his grave.

 

Summoned by the reaper, to the endless road,

Navigating through the blanket, eyes mirrored, tears cold

Distance, no meaning, to the road I am a slave

The ghost of a fox treads lightly on his grave.

 

Fading dreams and shadows of memories,

Cold stone images of sepulchres and cemeteries

Longing for moments to cherish and to crave

The ghost of a fox treads lightly on his grave.

 

Please spare me my honour, my pride to destroy,

As the distance gets shorter, once again just a boy

My loneliness, my vaunts, my attempts to be brave

The ghost of a fox treads lightly on his grave.

My name is Clyde Hunter and I was once a full time actor, but eh, some things were probably never meant to be! For now I’m happy directing armature productions and dabbling in the idea of poetry.. more..
