Alert the Media Someone Stole the Milky Way Away

STOLEN STARS

THERE IS A NAKED GHOST WHO CHASES ME
SANS OF GARMENT WITH NO SIGN OF SILK
THERE IS A NAKED GHOST WHO DEBASES ME
AND A GHOUL IS THE GURU OF HER ILK

DAY AND NIGHT,HOUR BY HOUR
WHEREVER I LOOK, WHEREVER I TURN
I DEAL WITH A GHOST WHO WIELDS ALL THE POWER
AND LEFT WITH THE DEVIL TO DISCERN

MY HEART WAS MY HARBOR, HER SOUL MY  GOAL
NOW SHE IS OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT AND STRONG
I STARE NOT AT THE STARS THIS SPIRIT STOLE
AND PUT THEM IN A PLACE WHEREIN THEY DO NOT BELONG

GAZE BEHIND ME AND NAKED STANDS SHE
WITH FLACID FLESH AND COLD DARK EYES
I PRAY THAT HER DEATH ARRIVE FLEETINGLY
BUT EVERYONE KNOWS A GHOST NEVER DIES

Debbie Guzzi April 19, 2011 at 1:50 PM very interesting write, I'd like to see it without all the cap's I feel a bit screamed at? Good content though. Light & Love
