The Cloaked Ghost

Ghost
Gothic
Eidolon,
Sovereign king
Tears begin flowing.
Byzantine abandoned.
The cloaked statue sits and waits. 
The tourist lifts her head and sighs.  
Phantom’s pain she feels his suffering.
Hand on her forehead nods from side to side.

Labyrinthine journey stirs stark madness.
Intruders’ rash and reckless taunting  
Grey-sky midst morning mystifies. 
Glowing - white - apparition 
Clicks, flashes, from tourists.
Take focus of the
Timeless undead
Cloaked statue
Haunting
Ghost

Tom Woody Date: 10/8/2023 2:23:00 PM Amazing what fascinates people. I like the line about phantom pain, though in this case I suppose it would be empathic phantom pain. But we get the point. Nicely done Anaya Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 10/8/2023 3:37:00 PM She has empathy for him, she knows his travails and his history. Tourists can upset the phantom's realms. Thank you, Tom!
