The Ghost

by ah satan 666   Oct 9, 2012


Its been a while since I've been here,
Yet I made it back...
without so much as an upward glance.
I look around;
not a soul to be seen,
its deserted, yet so peaceful.

I sit on a broken cobble step,
surrounded by the castles ruins.
I look up,
my only wish...
is that my thoughts were as clear,
as the almost night sky.

A feeling I know all to well consumes me.
A cold chill slowly creeps through my veins,
like the bitter cold frost...
blowing its icy breath on the blades of grass;
on a early winters morning.

I can't move.
It becomes hard to breath.
The scenery before me becomes a watery smudged image.
Then as if the heaven gates had been ripped open,
the tears start to fall...

The down pour over flows my eyes like a waterfall,
flooding my cold cheeks...

"I'm alone"...

Once again I must fight;
The demons that lay within have come for me.

    - I totally adored this line - shows how cluttered your head is with thoughts and emotions and things that feel like they will never be gone, never be free from. Great way to show this by using that clear sky as your wish for your head to be clear.

    This poem holds such a deep depression inside this character, but what makes it worse is that you have focused the poem on the things around you - the metaphors and the scenery, and then at the end you show the real emotion of feeling that loneliness. I again like how this is in the dark category, it can be put into a different context in the way of demons being ghosts like the title suggests, instead of ghosts and demons of the past.

    Strong wording, and more great imagery from you!
