Ghost

by Robert   Apr 6, 2013


Here I enter, never to return
A shadow I become lost beneath the earth
Forgotten over time, but remembered over night
Scaring all on encounter as a ball of fluorescent light

Stranded in the mind, left to forever wander
Your eyes draw a blank as your ears grow a little fonder
I create the crackling sound in your step, and lost within the light
But you know I am always there when your given a deadly fright

I never seem to sleep, but am never really awake
I watch you in your slumber, creating games for you to partake
You never see me coming, but you know I am always there
Here I laugh, and here you cry as I look to always scare

    Excellent poem, Robert! I believe in ghosts and have experienced them and your poem well portrays their unpredictable, elusive nature as well as the ghosts we create in our imagination when we're in the dark. Brings me back to my ghost hunting experiences. And that reference to the 'ball of florescent life' reminds me of the orbs that show up when people take pictures at haunted sites. Have had orbs show up on my own pictures too.

    This poem is interesting, you know, I like the rhymes.

    but I actually like the playfulness in this poem. It's a ghost but this ghost at least to me sounds like the type that likes playing games. So if I see it from the point of view of the ghost this isn't dark, rather more child type of thing, the ghost scaring people for his enjoyment ( then I could think poor ghost no one sees him, what else can he do?).
    But if I am the one experiencing what the ghost is doing... I might be scare. ahaha

    good write.
