red-haired poltergeist
in a spine-chilling boneyard
a blood-spattered cape

I manifest into 
poetry, haunting 
the alphabet like 
a poltergeist.

Words become 
possessed, with 
a flick of my pen.

What comes out 
depends in the 
mood that I'm in.

POLTERGEIST

Sometimes the past seems very remote
— again, close as the hallway—
Tonight I’m looking over my shoulder,
folks I knew thirty—even forty—years ago,
friends and lovers— old enemies.
My room is full of ghosts,
quarrels, conversation of the absent, the missing--
a spectral hand on my arm!...

Wicked Witches vicious Wishes
Worst of Curses Hexed
Paranormal Victim Witness
Poltergeist are Vexed
Rows of Sixes Superstitious
Sacred Scrolls and text
I see dishes fly malicious
And She is surely next.
Sold Her Soul and burnt the Bridges-
The Devils love Her Best!

I can't take this broken dream
anymore

I need to leave soon, I can't see
straight

Poltergeist inside me
Why can't i breath?

Lucky I'm a live wire
Go back to where you came

I give a sign of life and awaken from
slumber

Yet I feel the mourning
of a death

I feel better today
but i still wish this was just a dream...

People and places like thread
Over and under, sewing your head
Leaking and squeaking
Thrilling and peeking
Elements of illusion
Rebounds with delusion
Grumbling in your ears
Ending and halting heart beat in tears
Intermittent noises of the unseen
Souls playing around when clock strikes at thirteen
Touching you and me in grim...

10/28/20
When vampires fly abroad in search of blood
And poltergeists and demons do no good;
When zombies drooling, crawl up from the ground
And ghoulish spirits glide without a sound;
When bats and spiders brush across your face
And coffins spill out bodies all in lace;
A chill crawls up your spine, your hair turns green.
You know the time has come for Hallowe'en....

I'm on a Evangelist quest
Lazarus effect 
BAPTIZED the blasphemous flesh 
Examining the text
Passion of Christ
Compassionate about life
For having a compassion for sacrifice
Demons have compassion  of poltergeist 
I have a passion for light you cant imagine what's umimagined in my sights
 An I use my passion to write
As a fashion to strike
My thoughts to flash the storm...

 Twilight is a poltergeist of sadness.
Leaning to the sun to steal its hind rays.
Vineyard seems to be their fount of gladness 
Twilight is a poltergeist of sadness.
Tilting grapes on vine at night's showiness.
As clocks preserve hone time, prepare your days
Twilight is a poltergeist of sadness.
Leaning to the sun to steal its hind rays.

three knocks on the crimson door,
kill your malice,
sweep the floor.
lock the keyhole, peek outside,
remove the
curtains of your mind.

it will persist, the thing outside
one step forward (or
back with pride).
smell the stench beneath your sight
left eye twitches
through the night.

let it in, take a look
a poltergeist disguised in blue,
it will persist this thing inside,
lock the door,
you lose this fight....

Death belies the darkness summoned,
tombstone-colored is the sky,
shards of memories merely fragments,
wailing wind the sole reply.

Violent storm winds strip the tree limbs
like a poltergeist, unseen,
tawdry feeders, heavy wind chimes,
beat against the window screens.

Waiting for the glass to shatter,
like so many childhood dreams,
china teacups, rosebud patterned
in the dustpan, unredeemed.

There is a ghost in my house
A poltergeist in nature
And I am determined to see
Its imminent departure

I have secured the services
Of an expert of eminence 
An exorcist of renown
To un-haunt my residence

He is not a cheap solution
To my poltergeist problem
But the spirit has to go
Before I end up in an asylum

But the price must be met
This was sternly stressed
For if I default on the fee
The house will be repossessed...

Goblins grabbed me up in light of day
I was so surprised I yelled out “hey!”
Shut up one said.
Bonked me on the head.
So I bit him where the sun don’t stray.

He dropped me swiftly and right away
I figured there might be hell to pay.
Condor picked me up.
I felt like a pup.
He dropped me in San Francisco Bay

But here I was not destined to stay
Guy on a sailboat shouted “May Day!”
He fished me out
With a merry shout
A poltergeist snatched me; it is not my day!...
