(THE GHOST)

With the open naked eye,
Pure death approaches!

Incredibly hollow, kick the bucket long ago
No, whiff nor smell when “THE GHOST” is around.
Abuses the whiteness, in which exists inside these sheets.
It can be the cost and reason of your overdose in question.

Go ahead and dig your own grave.
I already commission your headstone.
You won’t be remembered,
The aftermath this GHOST creates, will leave you babbling, even in your crate.
This is that whiteness you do not want to feel or taste.

Once he or she was a nobody, is now “The Infamous Ghost!”
The one that lives within your ‘Indian Hollow Walls.’
The Ghost’ leaves heat behind in your room.
It prowls around, leaving you within a near death experience every night.
This' ghost left behind will wreak havoc on your soul,
Shh! Listen to your walls they speak quite a bit. 
Once you find yourself with broken wind, and watery eyes.
Do not think this is your maker in the process.
‘The Ghost’ with eyes so potent compels a numbing stare!

If there really is such a thing as reincarnation,
Then you had better think that this ghost was a ghost in its own past life.
‘The Ghost’ can have you breathing out tears so intense.
Leveling your entire room, with a moat surrounding your bedded kingdom.
Not even your frightened watery dripping eyes will salvage your soul.
Nothing will come in handy before you die.
‘The Ghost’ will incinerate on your obituary.
                   
.                   …it will read…

“There is nothing to Fear but Fear itself! “Said: Franklin D. Roosevelt!”
That, and the fear is all this fearless 'Ghost will leave behind.
 It will have you thinking in rational fear.
.                         (RIP)

    A really intense piece, great stuff. This for some reason made me think of The Grateful Dead, and the name of the band. Anyways, thanks for your warm welcome on my poem Relationships, I've posted a couple other poems now as well :).

    The dead seek revenge, what a cool topic to write about! I don't know about ghosts, but I do think spirits are real. This was an intense read and it made me feel sympathy for the ghost in question, that was wronged time and time again when he was alive. Great work!

    Now, about this ghost thing.... I've never seen one directly. They always exist in my perepheral vision. When my central vision seeks them out they always flee....

    A parallel universe does exist and you, no matter your moats or walls will find me steadfast, in your dreams I will be your shield and in daytime stares peace...
