Once upon a time in Dothan, Alabama
During my after-My Mother's grandmother's
Funeral, It was a cold long night I began to
hear strange noises loud sirens, dogs barking
And howling uncontrollably.
The next event that happened was a brisk
wind that blew the door wide open. Paranormal
A clear image of a male figure in spiritual form
appeared before my eyes that bypassed me.
Paranormal
The Spiritual image went inside the bedroom as
he sat on the bed next to his wife. Paranormal
Now I'm trying to explain to the adults in the room
what I just witnessed of course they're all in
disbelief hearing this from a 12-year-old.
I began to plead with the adults and I described his
appearance, now they're saying go to bed, then I
heard some say I think she saw him. Paranormal
I could hear conversations once I left the room
confirming what I saw in the spiritual form.
Paranormal
We pass silently,
Through the house,
Like shadows,
Grasping at reality,
Begging to touch,
To feel,
Two ghosts,
Ethereal,
Craving existence,
Cursed to never embrace,
Never to kiss,
Those lips,
The pain is an eclipse,
On my soul.
Purple and blue chalk
Scribbled so I will see
And I think there's
A Ghost
Closely observing me
Letting me know
In his own polite cryptic way
He has hands...
Access to chalk...
On this
Future
Fallen day
For these are the color of...
My eyelid paint
Last night
Gorgeous colors
Mixed exactly right
Egyptian style
Rich and rare
Deep purple and blue
Lots of it
And the Devil take care
Eyes like a Queen....
Painted and bright
In exactly these colors
Still smeared from last night.
And that Ghost
Whispered soft in my ear
A word
I honestly can't remember
But nothing to fear
And now, here on this wall
These colors like mine
Enigmatic scribble
In detail so fine....
Like he was studying my eyelids....
God damned the Demons of Hell to Hell
God damned the Demons to Hell
Let us depart, Beloved
,Where their morbid howls don't swell,
In our ears, in our minds,
Coiling weaving diabolic binds.
Let us go, my Darling
To a place
All silence in the air...
No Devil, no Demon,
No Fetch, no Wanton,
Would never ever dare
To puncture our Quiet
With slanderous riot
Perverted lies,
Bone-chilling sighs...
Ghosty appearance,
Cryptic endearance,
Sad sobs and groans,
Agonized moans...
No, no!
Only silence shall be there
All sacred and quiet
A quivering friendly air
And we can talk...
Yes talk!
We can talk to our delight
And our cheery conversation
Alone may pierce the night.
The whole room tumbles.
Turning upside down.
So that I am on the ceiling.
And forced to analyze the space around me once again.
I blink again.
Then everything is right side up…
Then I blink again.
All the furniture is shifted just enough…
So I am confused in some indefinable way.
She walks in.
Which causes me to blink once more.
She asks if I’m ok.
It’s just the room spinning again.
It’s just that I’ve been in this empty room all day.
I can’t explain what’s wrong.
She tells me to get some sleep.
I am scared for the door to close behind her.
As if she is locking me in a cage.
Maybe if I can just close my eyes…
I can pretend I’m asleep until morning.
And hope the evil furniture will leave me alone.

Books people read,Vance:faces,
On plain ones future crime traces;
How does he this a mystery
What is obvious: plain mastery!
Today's suspects later felons
In the act caught with their talons
Isn't this guy paranormal
By spooks sent for The Abnormal,
His orders:to make things normal?
Russia coming for Vance for use,
The World Terrorists for misuse...
US might not want to him lose.

The cold dying hands
take with them into silence
paranormal truth.
like leering leopard
feeble flesh flicker
sassy spots smirk
scorching saucy surge
punctured passion puke
per prey's view
taunted tongue elated
eerie emotions elevated
dangling deer highlighted
porous paranormal bleeds
crushing callous creed
severing saucy speed
Sprint hoisted heel:
my siveness' spree.

In touch
but not
in proximity
in proximity
but not in touch
perplexing.
which is real?
which is not?
in this world,
but unseen,
enjoying the holiday
more than you ever
did in the flesh
body
Which is real?
X-ray heart,
a secret,
kept tight,
Seeing spirit,
recognizing the need
To keep it quiet
Easily Mis-read,
Misunderstood.
sh...
this body isn't mine
i refuse to feed it or let it sleep
i want it to die so i can live in peace
so i can watch and learn and not be seen
these partners, they're fine; these spouses, they're content
they c*m in each other's presence when their souls are absent
i'm too self-aware, it's too complicated to breathe
i'm stuck under a rock, i was a mutated seed
i wanna cut at the curves so they're straight as broken glass
i want to float in the air
and never have to chat
i wanna be seen through, but not known at all
i want to be
a mystery
i'm paranormal
Do you believe in the paranormal
I do just for the fact that is seems very normal,
Why is it so hard for us humans to accept that there is another side
Some times these souls are lost and they try very hard to hide,
This tells me there is another chapter after we leave earth
After you die the spirit lives on and the coffin is in the dirt,
Personally I feel better knowing we have another chapter
Kind of like the saying the here and ever after,
Remember some are good spirits and some are bad
You never really know which ones are happy or sad,
I say if you do experience another spirit of another realm
Don't be frightened because it might just be a loved one so stay calm and don't get over whelmed.
