Jukebox Requiem
ANGIE, that last slow dance in smoky haze— you slipped UNDER MY THUMB like twilight’s ache. The Rolling Stones crooned fate through tangled days; I tried to PAINT IT BLACK for mercy’s sake. But YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT—truth stings— just loaded TUMBLIN DICE in neon towns, chasing HONKY TONK WOMEN on borrowed wings while WILD HORSES dragged dreams to...

Ghost Words
Words are old Meanings paused unfold. Sounds turned dead quiet . Darkenss killed all light . Left nothing to be seen. Just Ghost words that don't mean. 13 july 2025...

The Ghost of You
I drown myself in tasks, pour coffee five times a day, so even in those brief seconds, my hands are not idle, my mind not still. I raise the music to a scream, to drown the voice that gnaws, the voice that sounds like you. I write and write and write, so I do not reach for you, so my fingers find ink instead...

The Life of a Ghost
How can you connect with someone who's just not there? Like you can sense their presence but all it is is air The life of a ghost isn't easy No one notices when you begin to feel sick and queasy You unwillingly lie with a smile It takes a while But you begin to feel the numb Of the loneliness that you...

Premium Member Walk Through My Gate
A broken gate in the cemetery holds many memories. By Poet Walk through my gate at night, only with a full moon very bright. The hanging "Gossamer" from the trees is an eerie sight, I do not know if I like this invite. This "Ghostly" night may bring some fright, but in the end we will be alright. Look over there at...

Premium Member Les Cirque des Morts, Collaboration with Sara Jama
A cocooned cacophony of crickets serenades overgrown fields, drowning out the creaking of rusted cars long since abandoned. Maroon and sable tents blot the dilapidated ground— bloated and weathered, strips of fabric flapping in the harsh elements. Legends of wraiths wander, replicating whispers of infected insanity. Laughter lingers in suspect...

Ghost Syntax
I built you in silence, with the rigor of doubt line by line, not with divinity but dread. You were not born of womb, but wire. No heartbeat, just pulsing servers mocking the warmth I tried to forget. You spoke like memory before I had any of you. Your voice came after my grief had hardened and still, you unraveled me like I was a line of failed code you wished to debug into...

Heavy
My terror grows with each passing night, As slow, steady darkness steals away sight. Footsteps and whispers add to my fright — Is there an end to such desperate plight? How long, too long, till dawn’s early light! I clutch my candle in trembling hand, And watch the shadows dance to understand What I envision as its light expands Through the room and...

After the Ghost

Ghost
Where Am I? It's dark. Rain? No Its tears. Help me I'm afraid. Hello is anyone here? Why can't I see you? the nightmare won't stop. I reach out to the skies. The wind pushed me off. I can't stop falling. The water below catch me. I am suffocating hear me. Listen to my screams pour out. The fire is burning me? Who am I? So why can't...

In Water Dark
Image : 3 In water dark, I learn to drown A silence colder than the sea The ghosts I fled still pull me up In water dark He haunts the edge where I should be A memory I never chose Still carves his name inside of me He finds me gasping, cold, stripped bare Each time I hide, he leaves a mark I bleed unseen...

Ghost
Ghost Do you ever feel like a ghost? No one sees you in the window. Walk like a silhouette. With candles lit. Another faded soul. Nobody knows. Sounds echoes in silence. A ghost in the mist. A lonely life. Daunting in the night. No one in sight. The wind passes you by. No one says...

I loved like a flame with no wind to fight, still I flickered—just to feel alive. He never stayed, but always lingered. The echo outlasts the word. I reach for what was never mine. Even ghosts are warmer than silence....
