Ghost of One's Past

It was dark- darker than a 1am morning, the rusted leaves were following the wind and some were slightly rustling, here a lonely owl hoo's, and there echoes a sound of another trodden leaf, the moon is full but yet the pitch night is the booming light's true thief, the cold cuts through skin like an edged dagger, and the obscure surroundings make your dazed feet stagger. The wooden door flies open under the howling wind's mercy, and my steps are lead by the haunted house's luring mystery. The wood loudly cracks with each alarming step inside, while this abandoned menage of unseen presences offers you no place to hide. I hear the whisper of non-existent voices in the distance, but suddenly my ears were flooded with the sound of a single wooden crack; I was fully aware of its existence. I got lost in a moulded house filled with monsters of the unknown; Welcome to the Ghost House of one's past, and beware: memories are ghosts that never leave you alone.

Aura,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

how true that memories continue to haunt us, though they may be just the "unseen presence" of "non-existent voices" that follow you all through your life.
