Blue mist rises on the lake,
As pale moonlight shimmers
The rippling lagoon with
Faint spectral shadows,
Ebbing slowly to the shore.

reach from haunched spectral shoulders
death screams at dusk

A one-off was Barnett Newman
spectral closeness was his plan
He created the art of the zip*
two colours in a mural clip

When
vague ghosts
and spectral mists
manifest fully clothed
garbed in period dress or suit.
My one question is, why aren't they naked?
Humans may have a soul, but
clothes do
not.

Each and every morning
a dreamer awakens
from one dream to another,
realms
where the real is never real.
These words
are written upon
spectral ripples of
water,
by someone else
not yet alive.

He dreams in electric themes
draping around the armchairs
he wheezes down time
Across feral fields his eyes skims
the scenery
His shadow silhouetted by the evening sun
aware of the amolaly
recalling a spectral youth

i plagued my mind
by the waters edge
the winds came gently
the August people sneered
a smile beguiled though
as we became one
from grey to gold
west is behoven
our lives spent
spectral stories told
now we are alone

My beasts of the morning
Come shadowing,lurking
Into my soul they plunder
Mercilessly
Turning their leering eyes upon me
Gleeming their spectral bodies unto me
Mercilessly
And I know my beasts of the morning
And I serve them well

A lonely house behind the park,
The place is derelict and dark,
And shutters keep us out.
I picture inside bleak and stark,
With spectral dogs that howl and bark,
And ghosts that walk about.

A spectral dream
to forestall
they can try
but can't prise my grip
from my tenuous grasp
of reality
in the dream
it's myself
i'm most afraid
and the night
is not my friend
when the ghosts
rise from the dead
and howl to keep me awake.

fuchsia gold pink dawn
naturally it's beauty
sunburst in the bay
the hour of hush still rapture
melted colors drift to sea
at the verge of day
in the time of green tree songs
wading in waters
beneficent sunshine rays
in an age of spectral skies

In the shadowed alcove of memory, Where forgotten dreams curl like smoke, I wander, a spectral seeker, Tracing the edges of existence.
The moon, a pale witness, Hangs low, its silver gaze unyielding, As if it knows the secrets etched Into the marrow of my bones.

As I sit here I wounder what it could be,
this blank void of inspiration?
Your beauty eludes the masses,
as your spectral light penetrates my lobes
an electrical energy vibrates my cerebrum.
Do I deserve such attention from such ethereal beings?

A world of sunshine
Awaits the silver chirpy
skylark perched on grey scale branch
as golden mornings
usher in their spectral hue
that filter through the seamless
mesh or float of rafts
on green leaf bird house chant flock
whose silken strain enchants me

I believe
the size of one’s soul
as it hovers in heaven
is linked to life
experiences.
No doubt,
expanded spectral orbs
of mountain climbers
and fighter pilots,
world travelers and thrill seekers,
parents and poets,
will almost be as large
as those of
readers.

Romantic shadows of
Luminous love
Lend intense warmth
To a midsummer night as
Sensuous fragrance,
Shimmering moonlight,
Combine in nature's backdrop
While a quartet of flutes
At the water's edge
Enhances spectral mists and
Hushes soft laughter
For a moment of nocturnal tranquility.

I awake
music vaguely opaque
among torrid strands of dna
inviting into the spiral spectral array
weaving to and fro in gregarious display
hypnotized, I can but shake my head
I stumble back to bed
prayers said

Shining brightly flashes of white light
into spectral colours sparkle inwardly
Atoms arranged within a crystal structure domed
a gemstone takes shape measured from the clarity of beauty
Within diamond ultraviolet wavelengths transmit visible
jewel jubilantly crowned regally royal gift

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!

Worn out platitudes
have we come this far ?,
returning all possessed souls
and in the midst he slayed summer
in a spectral wooden cupboard
with worn shoes,
and now the lesson is over
by touching all those far apart,
roaming by the foreshore
to see their stranger within
the catch net of life assured
