Ghost

I can hear you, I know you're there, You can hear me too, In this home we share. Are you someone I knew, Someone from the past, Can it really be true, When had I seen you last. Or did you live here, A long time ago, You, I do not fear, This I hope you know. Did you just pass away, Like most people do, Why do you stay, Was life taken from you. Was your life so tragic, That your spirit will remain, Just like a trick of magic, Your form you can regain. You might watch me at night, But I never have seen you, Will I recognize the sight, As a face that I once knew. Written by: Kelly Deschler Giorgio V.'s contest - "Impress Me", themes- spiritual / gothic?

Certainly, a nice, haunting little piece, Kelly. I think maybe I'll sleep with a light on tonight...or just stay up and read poetry, but not about ghosts.

Thanks for reading, Mark... I like writing poems like this once in awhile just to break away from the normal poetry topics. Its really something that interests me, the whole mystery of whether or not ghosts exist :)
