a ghost of a child at the playground
swinging on a swing
laughing and having fun
a ghost of a child at the playground
swinging on a swing
he was never found at local cemetery
priests went out in search
exorcists did their performance
but the child was swinging on a swing

Exorcists under a big dome
Power unleashed over the hailed home
Walls of two and one Illuminati
Knights of great graffiti
Eight century mystifying
Eleventh century glorifying
Bank of hidden treasure
Rank of forbidden measure
Faith is sanctuary to the Great Eye
Death is coventry to the Fallen Sky
Murals and paints of historic site
Intramurals of haints in heaven's smite
Creed is not my code
Breed is my unknown lode

They appear from hidden corners in an impromptu
fashion, like bubbles appearing anywhere
in boiling tea. They are all in white, making
mourning sounds that can put Nightmare on Elmstreet
Series to shame.
They always come out at ten
in the night. Everyone in Broomstreet closes their
windows, doors and anything that won't make
their houses air-tight. Fathers, mothers,
children, friends, and acquaintances hold each
other's hands behind the sofas, under the beds,
under dinner tables....and wait.
The strange thing with the ghosts
is that they are interested with money,
rather than haunting souls. One ghost
once was spotted robbing Broomstreet
Bank. "Call the exorcists!" the witnesses
shouted.
The ghosts also get wounded. One had a broken
nose when it stalked Mr. Nogood. It hit a wall
as it ran away, after it saw Mr. Nogood's
shotgun.... "How can ghosts be afraid of dying?!"
the senior citizen asked.
Yes, there has been many strange incidences
of haunting in places with lots of money, or
people with lots of money.
The fact and bottomline is that one ghost
resembled Todd Mills, who had escaped
from prison three months back....

Everyone knows where the key is….
Yes, the key to open the door that separates
vile darkness from ordinary darkness,
when the lights are out.
No one wants to open the door.
No one is brave enough to open up a history
that ought to be undisturbed,
in its pristine state.
The exorcists have blessed water,
that they intend to sprinkle on the room’s walls,
which once was sprinkled with blood,
akin to a slaughterhouse. The room smelled
of blood, death and violence.
Whenever they get close,
the walls groan,
as though they are alive. Disturbing mist
envelops their feet, as whispers
ooze out.
The room seems to insist
it wants to be locked….forever!

It swallows everything in its path,
even man's breath! As it slowly moving along the streets,
only mourns and screams you hear; deaths happen
during victim's broad vision. Survivors of the traumatic ordeals
claim that fading, whitish figures tear flesh with their long,
crooked nails; in some cases they slit victims' throats - the slitting
has an eerie, audible voice. Until now, exorcists and mediums avoid
this town.....

Grey-robed ladies materialise at castles
Hideous red-eyed entities hover in woods
On horseback, headless riders gallop past
Silently, spectres watch and cause unease
Throwing objects at exorcists, spirits laugh

The exorcists were taking him
to pyre,
after eating the pollens,
the pistils,
columns of culture,
rosettes of centuries,
collapsed tropes.
Solid thorns were piercing the eyes
to cleanse the vision
of color-blinds.
It was the morphed sex
of a virgin goddess
humming to cool
the hot caresses.
Arousal of sleeping dragons,
promiscuity,
wood roses,
proactive subjects popping up,
which was it, besides bread and butter,
beds, only beds?
A semi-boiled love?

Gondolas thrift contently upon a gentian violet
Thrown from dusky sunsets on a marauding wake
Adopting Venetians transpose as the partake;
Sip mulberry wine to toast the ultraviolet.
Cerulean skies, inundations, surge the amaranth
Spray lavender with a mauve bouquet of backcloth;
Bear a pigmentation that the heliotropes strove forth
Luminary, heather halos mimic gamma strength.
Plum age old interceptors, those cardinals and priests
Rage velveteen and indigo, planning sermons apiece,
Text books coloured aubergine bless a firmament lease
Like exorcists displaying ways to snub behemoth beasts.
The Grand Canal is unified as the amethysts surrounding:
Producing arch goliaths, as the buildings passing by
Shape a deep mauve battlement, twilight’s gradual high
The sheer delight of Indigo, the honeymooners grounding.
