Long Ghostlike Poems

Leaves glitter quietly, serene and slumbering,
Beneath the frost’s quick breath.
Amber, gold and mahogany – crisp as the voice of winter
Shadowed by trembling winds of December,
Hopeful and happy beneath the jewels of laughing songs,
Inspirations drifting softly...

"Ghostlike"



Through dreams
I visit you ghostlike
in disguised ways I speak 
silent thoughts to you
I breathe them lifelike
into your dreamlike
skies 

alive you have travelled
astral in my mind
I hold you in 
my hands 
your heart fluttering
like a lost...

Icicles hang on the edges
Silence creeping into the conversation
Revealing the boredom of this skirt
Tendrils of frozen water suspended
On hearts, hopes and dreams

Moonlight flickers on the night
Ebony haven of owl and coyote
Animals wild and warmed by...

Heartfelt light… falls gentle on my dew drenched silence,
When moon is fading beneath the silent blessings,
Raining through the moments, healing with soft expressions
Moments alive with the flames of joy kindled to birth,
Praying into the depths...

There is a music that weeps comfort,
Through the distance, in quiet moments,
Healing and blessing, reminding that His gentle grace
Will flow from the heavens, embracing,
Surrounding hearts with a lasting light – the source
Of love, His love…

My Painful Disguise

Every other night,
  When I look into my eyes,
I see a sad sight,
  Cause my heart is in a screaming plight.
All my life,
  I’ve walked a thin line,
I wish it...

Fragile light, softly glowing
Sighs on the breath,
Caressing the voice of the fallen
Leaves, crumpled in the grass,
Messy, strewn like prayers,
Always fading in the shadows,
Where joy once blessed,
Now, soundless memories, regrets,
Blowing on the winds, like those leaves,
Wrinkles...

Silent sobs echo through an apartment whose walls are cluttered with pictures of 
what was.
My tears coming too easy, too quickly.
The flow of release not bringing peace or resolve.
There's no deep sleep following this.
My eyes...

A Dark Curse She Still Comes To Torture Me

O' my darling, why do you look like so ghostlike
Your creamy skin looks like burnt-over ash
Hole in chest, were you stabbed with a spike
But as usual your...

Midnight on the Clock

Midnight gray blocks out the stars
in racing steams of flowing clouds.
Moon light hides behind windy puffs
	of smoky filtered white.
October nights are cooled by lingering rain
	cold riding the wind.
A sudden drop in temperature...

It aches

Insanity – it is rich with light,
Ever lusher with shadows,
Dimly faded feelings, whispers
Welcoming the wars that come
To those who listen… it’s voice…

I know crazy

Crazy – it is like the wind,
Forever moving, never giving in
To...

As the world tires and weariness begins to quietly enfold,
We will sleep and dream of what tomorrow beholds,
In the night, 
a chorus of felines project a resolute purr,
Meow!
And in the light of the moon, as...

Lost in secret kisses,
Her heart was not as resilient,
As it would be one day,
Not so far away,
When he turned from her –
Leaving her heart by the wayside,
Trembling with ghostlike stones, plump
From the darkness that betrays,
Feelings...

He sat alone in a dark self-made cell
Only a crack of light revealed him there
His face a shadow of a good life once
Now a torture show to the uncivilized
Ghostlike features masked his lean face
You could...

Broken Tree

As i lay here on my sick bed, here within my room,
There’s a window that lets in the light to break up all the gloom.
Out the window is the same view, a small hill...

MUSE ON THE LOOSE

“What’s that?” – a symphony moving,
A photograph snapped – a muse on the loose.

I must go hunting, set a trap…
Many are running, attacking, tracking -

So I look in the shadowy bushes,
Behind schools...

Her morning reflection cast another death warmed over look
as hallowed eyes looked back at her as someone forsook
the lines on her forehead seemed etched deeper than ever before
as her ghostlike appearance depressed her to her...

When love is torn asunder and there is nothing left but dissent,
a lover's heart will be shattered, mortally wounded and rent.
In a relationship that was once held as sacred and eternal,
sorrow takes a heavy toll...

And the cemetery is sculpted by freshly lain plots 		
Anticipating a frame to explain the gravely residents		
To offer considerable homage with venerate thoughts		
Of a journey long taken by soldiers and sycophants		

Anticipating a frame to explain...

A glimpse in time
I wander your rugged roads
Ignited by a glowing future
Digging into my own mind
So that the surgeon might fix himself
Sullied in a swinging sorrow...

Born into your light at the start of the day

The chantings....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Within the fog shrouded moments
Of tomorrows unknown day
You wait for something
Something strange....
To mute your path
With these ghostlike things
While as you walk
Along their daunting dreams
Of twisting smiles
And ludicrous scenes....
Caricatures faces
That they always seem
Calling unto your...

As it enraptures me 

Suddenly there is a light,
Something ahead,
I run faster,
Faster, faster, faster!

Finally I reach the light
Only to discover
That I have landed in a dark cathedral
Filled with the faint light of candles

Why am I...

This is a poetry eerily populated with ghosts and mummies and zomboid creatures who go on living though dead from love.

I saw the Four Horsemen -
the famous apocalypse guys.
They rode silently past neatly folded laundry,

They approached me in silence,
their breathe a rye and meadow wind.
Each of them in turn,

gliding ghostlike past where I sat,
watching steam...
