It's halloween
let me preen
in front of the mirror;
Let her scream
and set off a trigger
that will unfold
events that are momentous and bigger.

Let me preen
unseen
in front of the mirror.
Let my dark eyes of burning coals
burn those evil souls
that wander in the Living
in the guise of innocent foals.

Unseen
let me prowl
but hear me
let out a howl
of pain
of betrayal
of insanity
of love.

Let me prowl
hither and thither;
On thin air
I float
as i set flowers to wither;
I smile
cold and calculating, Sober;
Upon my grave I shall rest
when hell freezes over.

Hither and Thither
dart my raven eyes
looking for redemption
seeking out love
but resting upon a piece
of the past
tattered
battered
waiting to be cast away.

My Raven eyes
flap furiously like the wings of a wretched bird
trapped
sapped of life, energy, of love.
They desperately seek release,
asking me to appease
my empty soul
with riches anew
sorrows a few
and implore me to rest upon
the cold earth, lonely and blue.

Furiously
I take
without asking
a peice of you
a peice of him
to complete me-
an incomplete jigsaw,
an unanswered question.


Moral from the Ghost - Vengence is sweet when served with ice and red sugar candy pop.

Hmm ... so you're giving a tough competition with our Ghost deewana. 🤔

Thank you for appreciating! Not within my humanly tendencies to compete with The Ghost!

Very well written..
This one blows me away

Hither and Thither
dart my raven eyes
looking for redemption
seeking out love
but resting upon a piece
of the past
tattered
battered
waiting to be cast away.

Thank you @Monu tan

@indrani, now I'm sure that's not true. We all know you can give me a run for my money. In particular, I have in mind a discussion we had in the Edkv page, that I enjoyed!

Love pursed me-
she came hot on my heels
she wouldnt stop
until she had me down on my knees.

She came hot on my heels
and sang me a song
a melody sharp and sweet
that carried me along.

She sang me a song
and I fell fast alseep
building dreams so pretty
that I prepared to keep.

I fell sound asleep
coloured in Love's red
I lowered my guard
in Love's sweet bed.

Coloured in Love's red
I was free, I was blind
to Love's true intention
for she had me in a bind.

I was blind,
and couldnt see -
Love, the illusionist
had no grand plans for me.

I coudnt see,
warm in Love's bed-
the red that engulfed me
killed me as I bled.

Beagle
Your verses are life. You just know how to inject life into one who has passed beyond mortal realms. Shiv interests me as he remains a story whose closure is already encoded by the fact he is a ghost. Shiv's story lacks possibility and yet they redefine hope😳
