Poem
Sebastian is gone The spirit of Alexandra is still there Her haunting aroma of lavender Still lingers through the dark silent rooms The couple did not know what they were in for when they rented the old apartment Sharon noticed first Shadows that hoverd in corners Noises came from nowhere And a pungent scent of lavender Saturated the air Sebastian stayed busy writing An aspiring author His goal- to produce a bestseller The spirit watched him from the shadows As he worked endeless hours Creating a literary masterpiece The young writer could feel a suttul presecnce ANd that intoxicating scent of lavender Found its way into his sense of his smell However, Tensions flared between Sharon and the specter More baffling noises Restless nights and unsettling dreams A plae face appears on the television screen Her favorite bookshelf collapses Incessant scratching on the walls Causing hair to stand erect on arms A rival in spirit form was ever present Someone had to go And it just so happened upon one day Sharon was out shopping Warm water gushed over his face As erotic visions of the red haired Apparition found their way into his thoughts The young writer began to gratify himself sexually Until reaching an orgasm That haunting smell of lavender Rapidly overcame him Yes, he knew she was watching Six months later, Sharon and Sebastian paretd ways The novel became a bestseller which led to: Brand new house The fancy car A sure promising career With a fresh perspective on life And a pack of unopened lavender incense That has never been lit The book itself being based on Alexandra Her life of wanting recognition Yet never recieving it Sebastian achieved after her death What she could not accomplish in life There always remained that desire To revert back to the place Where the smell of lavender bewitched him if only one time He had to see that house again.................. Wintertime now, The young novelist found himself Passing through old familiar territory On a cool Tuesday afternoon Sebastian gazed up to a window In a still vacant apartment Where it all began Flakes of snow ascended down upon his hair and face That haunting smell of lavender Would never be forgotten He could feel her peering out At him through the old bedroom window The apparition wandered when Sebastian would return Someday......................................................................................
