01:40 - a Truth, a Lie

I kissed you goodbye, my mind's eye
Told me so. A fleeting phantom
To reface the embrace without
Lips, and I prefer this version.

A Sad Man

A Sad man 
Crying
 On face 
Smile
But fake 
 In heart
Carrying  a load 
Of his fate
A fade in eyes
A phantom 
 In young
Age

Today

Yesterday's done
so let it go

Another time
just doesn't flow

Tomorrow is 
a phantom play

Embrace this thing
we call 'today'

Suicide is a phantom
tap dancing on the mind
with a ball-pin hammer.
Looking for and opening  
to place a stick of dynamite.
kaboom!

Beset

Genetics,
our cruelest mistress
the herald’s phantom
In fated shadow
a birthmark staining
—our darkest pall

(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)

Death

As the  phantom consumes
the chaos from my soul
desperate hands
pull me to the grave,
i lay there numb and cold
the earth now has my bones

Down the Phantom Road

deep
in
the 
mountains of glory
there 
is sweet gold
but
it
lead us
down
the 
phantom road
where
the
devil dwells
to
takes
your soul

Phantom

He vanished quickly from her life,
leaving only the faint bruise of 
memories and a question that only
the starkest of truths could answer

Why?

Phantom In the Mirror

It hid in the mirror,
Invisible to all eyes 
but visible to hers,
At night it is revealed, 
They journey into the unknown,
The mystery in the mirror.

Phantom

One day I’ll become the Phantom
And enter your cozy room
To the winds, sans a hint
Skipping the Moon’s glint
And on your lips
I’ll impress
A kiss
Ishhh!

Phantom Lullaby

Soft whispered

Piecing cries

Laughter haunting the darkest nights

Candles flicker

Glasses brake

Heart filled cry

The Phantom Lullaby has begun

Premium Member My Soul Escapes

Into the phantom darkness
My soul flew ahead
Paving the way for my flesh self
Who had no choice
But to reattach my shadow
And retrieve my
Darling darling soul

A SECRET NIGHT

Island of Light...
Night's ocean swirls.
Faces, masks of quiet.
Coffee steams, secrets.
Phantom signs, a beacon.
For what?
Emptiness echoes.
Perched...
Waiting.

Scents

patchouli incense
opens nostrils --
fragrant dreams

patchouli incense
smolders ethereal --
phantom dreams

patchouli incense
burns as fingers --
massaging dreams

Misty Morning

FOG LIKE PHANTOM STREAMS
misty beauty, white ravines
make mornings meaningful

Acacia arboretum hold fast
At the breaking before breakfast
The new day, old friends, egrets

Elusive Echo

The stream, a phantom in my hand,
I clench; the liquid's gone, unmanned.
To hold what shifts beyond recall,
Is chasing silence through a wall.

Premium Member Plane Is 78 Years Late

The airplane had been missing since 1944.
We were shocked to see the phantom soar.
It unexpectedly appeared on a summer’s day.
Flying at us between clouds orange, pink and gray.

Premium Member Our Halloween Kitty

A strange Cheshire feline, gold eyes neon-bright
Floats like a phantom with teeth glowing white
His low, haunting purr
Adds an eerie allure
For our kids every Halloween night

amidst the darkness is the night 
morning turns come to the light 
phantom calls birds to tweet 
amaral spears dew grass suites

Sir Trump is now all chummy with Sir Kim
A pair of bosom buddies, kith and kin --
   Trump tweets out Joe Biden
   'Your bird-brain is hiding' --
Hey, what's yours, Sir Trump, a phantom limb
