Best Haunt Poems

#2 to the Motivational Series

Haunt me no more

Your words will haunt me no more
They will not close me in, I will not shut the door
I will not let them tear me down
I will heal from tears, I will not drown
I release the toxins that have...

Tell me why you haunt me so.
I must admit that I don’t know.
But thoughts of you fill up my mind
And won’t be left behind.
You’ve entered into all my dreams,
A vague and distant hope, it seems.
A constant, almost subtle threat
That I cannot forget.
You fill me up,...

I see the shadow on the wall,
my breath catches and hope falls.
He has found me I do despair,
The Axeman is standing there.

Hiding in the house all day,
waiting for the return of his prey.
In the pantry watching through the door,
night is all he waits for.

Silently he...

If you go to a Halloween hoolie
Just remember they can get unruly
Rousing ghosts in the night
If one gives you a fright
Well then give him a kick in the ghouly

HAUNT
Phantom
Poltergeist

in the darkened room
cold hands pushed me from bed
the ghost made her presence known

“Things do go bump in the dark night”

Pulchritudinous looks, unscrupulous ways hook 
Junoesque one apart, pneumatic in mouthpart

Those coconut-like callipygian haunts cull
Leave alone howling wolves, despite being ourselves!...

You made me cry,
Your actions hurt my heart,
I should’ve known,
We were broken from the start.
I thought I knew you,
But you aren’t who I thought you were,
You’re heartless,
And a monster.
I loved you,
You didn’t want me,
Now, whenever I look at you,
Your eyes haunt me....

It is when I search,
That I find.
And when I find,
That I realize how truly lost I am.

It is when I listen,
That I understand,
And when I understand,
That my own thoughts begin to confuse me.

It is when I look back from where I came,
That I remember,
And when...

I weep as I haunt the ruins of this castle

once a handmaiden, then the king’s mistress.

lavished in silks, gold, and silver tassel,

envy, pierced well born ladies interest.


Sneered and hated on my upcoming reign,

good times didn’t last long. a drop in my cup

of sweet wine of...

Verse 4: Another day of fighting back tears of fears
Lingering around a chastening situation that appears
You can't just leave me with this junk of a job 
I sit down on the couch of my corruption...having the urge to sob
My OCD's and conditions screwed me over...

A tuck,
a fold
beneath the sheets
of the ghost
that holds my mind.

A toss,
a turn
under what covers me,
colors me the same
shade of white.

A rock,
a gasp
of wind
that steals my breath,
beneath the weight of dreams.

A chill,
a sweat
within the touch
of the danger
lying next to me.

A scream,
a silence
that hushes me awake,
flushes me...

HAUNT.
Bat-**** crazy
Disturbed in anxiety
A ghostly apparition
A unconscious decision
An unbeatable intuition
A scary realization
We are not alone.
This mysterious new home.
What is this supernatural intention. 
What has become of your occult inventions.

Ramapo, New York, a small town
Was rural ... to say the least
Where simple folks lived a simple life
And most residents could rest in peace 

But, tonight was prom night and
The summer evening was unusually cool
As the graduating class of 1953
Gathered at their high school 

Leisurely,...

Each night, while you lay breathing quietly,
I wander like a wraith through empty rooms
A phantom in both life and memory,
the ghost a long abandoned oath exhumes

I hover like a spirit over you
each night, while you lay breathing quietly,
so desperate to believe what isn't true,
I make...
