"Ghost"
  by theycallmelife


Under a winter’s sun
Slain … sadness blessed rebelliousness
Pavement painted
With a warm red soul
Veins
Flowed from the mind manifest
Liquid emotions…thoughts
Trickling down manhole covers


Wailing cries from father
Mother…lover


That was a month ago
And I cannot tell you after death,
Where it is my kind go

But I move gracefully in the fog
And I travel lightly in the smoke
My face runs in the mirror
As my heart echoes below

I’ve forgotten comfort or rest
I couldn’t tell you of the hunger
For as I have not closed my eyes
To sleep…
Neither have I thirst or desired
A thing to eat

I cannot feel
Surreally I speak

Because it is she

I walk through her walls
Mimic …
The touch that made her blush
Now she cringes in cold blue
Till she falls sick

So I watch from a distance
Yet she knows I’m there
Writes to me nightly
Into me … stared…but through me
Walked…
Fears the worst…eyes burst forth
Rivers grand…if only I could again
Squeeze her hand as she once
Held my heart

Depart

But remain
Because I hear her heart
Jump beats
When she mistaken shadows
And silhouettes
For the man that was once me

As it would seem…she inevitably
Pulls barrel to mouth
Trigger to toe
Shower scolding
Yet colder than you know

I beg … I plead
To something…to someone
Anything greater than me
To stop her …
But the silent screams seems
Only to mock…her…her
I love despite the hollowed chest
And there I am suddenly
In the steam…a dream…a vision
Something she believes manifest

Barrel lowers
Breath escapes…and thine eyes tell all
And just like that
The numbing subsides
She feels the pain
From hot water…from loss…emptiness
Losing him…then she said it…my name

I had almost forgotten…

Depart…
Fading way to fast…losing her face
Consciousness no longer there to grasp
Fading to black… goodbye my love…at last…

Life

The first.. second... and third times I read this one.. I didn't know how to respond to it.. (and I have to pop myself for doing that.. because as a poet you want to hear more than silence in response to your words.. I know that frustration)... so, forgive me.. but this poem has the makings of a really great novel... it's very much alive.. even in death.. and that's a hard thing to pull. Kudos to you, poet.. but I'm sure the reason for the lack of response so far is because it kindof leaves a pe...
