The Monalisa ghost

Talk of infatuation and being a teenager- back in the day :-)

 

Transparent as the water of baptism

Her beauty attracts no criticism

Within the melody of darkness she is a prayer

Upon the hangman’s noose she is air

That is why she is tormenting this fairytale

But all the same farewell

For you are beyond my cost

For you are the Monalisa ghost

 

Through my death, into my winter

Your face still burns like a splinter

Let upon fate music be your name

For your melody is too much a flame

That is burning my heart

In a sequence which was no son of Start

And to say you are a wind be not the most

For you are the Monalisa ghost

 

I first saw her in a church

Where most sinners do lurch

But she be not amongst the folly

For Eternity proved it surely

To the ghost that made me lose breath

Spare me upon my second death

For within this maze l am lost

But how can l not when it is about the Monalisa ghost?

And to add fate upon fate Leo did paint this ghost.

Author's Note

Be kind wrote this in my teens.

Reviews

[Ravyne Hawke]

This is interesting and a bit on the dark side. I like that you've taken a classic, turned her into a ghost and written poetry about her.. further immortalizing her soul. Well done.

[Mufaro Kudakwashe Joseph Mangono]

Thank you, I turned her into a "ghost" to signify the intangible relationship that was between us :-).

[Ravyne Hawke]

Ahhh.. very clever! I like that.

[Shivam Murari]

The name itself is quite attractive! The poem is quite descriptive and well elaborated! Nicely done!
