Wraith of My Soul
twilight whispers
on the winds
of darkness
the wraith
of my soul
listens

assonance of
this empty house
articulates 
through walls
of dreams
where desires
call out to you

i can hear
your inaudible voice
answering back

see you standing
in the shadows
of time
awaiting
the hours
of destiny
to allow you
to step forward
into the depths
of my awaiting arms

for now
i rest
in fragments
of hope

and wait
for my...

Premium Member The Wraith
Before the dawn whirling in a grim dream,
conception of a haunting howling scream,
through slivered moon's eclipse casting a gloom.
Beasts wandering eyes of red are agleam
shadows amble beyond a massive tomb.

A wraith in gossamer veils of blackness
walks a dark and dismal path of badness
stretching its tendrils...

Premium Member The Wraith of Mother Nature
Hearing noises from outside the house.
The wind whistling thru the trees,
As they sway in the front yard.
The weather alert screaming,
Warning us of the dangers,
Of Mother Nature being upset,
The way we treat her earth.
I hear noises against the window,
Someone trying to come in.
I hear the wind...

My Little Wraith
To my dearest supporters, Skat A and my awesome drama teacher who always encourages me, now I walk around with me book 

His breath is as cold as ice,
His touch is cold and refreshing it’s nice.

He died young, but he’s old,
I can tell he is...

Premium Member The Wraith of Gallows Hill
Walked a wooded trail, suddenly unsure of my surroundings,
wondered had I'd become lost..
only a moment disconcerted, as dusk grew nearer. 

I went over an old river crossed by an even older bridge, 
there not seen and yet to see a small child oddity. 
for no...

Wraith
Darkling shadows 
on my bedroom wall
reach out in ominous warning
they snatch at fears within my head
parading them around my bed
like drunken dance partners

Phantom forms that hypnotize
compelling me to shut my eyes
sheets held tightly in my grip 
a prayer of pleading on my lip
that they will...

Premium Member Wraith
 Star light why so bright?
you're not a star but a satellite
You hover around like a drone,
but not a drone who is owned

I stare up into the dark night, 
my focus has shifted
somethings not right,
fuzzy haze in the twilight

A hood covers its glowing eyes
It hovers...

Desert Wraith
She envied his strength
In a heart shredding sandstorm
He envied her pain,
A fellow chaser of dreams
Turned into a desert wraith...

The Wraith and the Raven
The night it was, when I heard,
a tap, tap, tapping on my hovel's door
open to find a raven, eyes filled with darkness and spite,
when I went to turn on the light,
light, a dear friend long departed,
darkness is the only memory I have not forgotten now,
A...

Alabaster Wraith
The North Wind whistles as she lifts
her soft and sequenced hair,
her milky gown glows amethyst
as moon drops gather where
the Earth’s soft, gentle eyes fall closed
and tears arrest the night.
Her sleepy heart, to all exposed
abreast the piles of cold calcite.

I see her nearing silhouettes
her shadow long...

The Solemn Wraith That Passes
The solemn wraith that passes, 
once a child whose life in stasis 
fell, cursed by the cruel kiss of fate, 
scuds as the Autumn clouds across 
the full moon of the grieving mind.

Disappearing as the Winter snows 
when Spring rain drills the grey repose, 
young...

Life Is the Wraith of Moments
life is the wraith of moments, parallel of things;
	what if we die in dusts
	if we travel with souls in airs
	may black changes to whites?
	its echoes to the reality
	oh! my character, my destiny.

life is the wraith of moments, parallel of things;
	tear the dead to the moment...

Faith Not Wraith
Glittering kindness to all others
Is what the world would be if it bothers
With all of us in the famous stories written
That was you’d think would make us smitten

And we have festivals professing this faith
To be channelled into peace and not wraith
So, sing your carols and...

Premium Member While You Lay Breathing Quietly
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...
