''ghost visitor''

''ghost visitor''


resting in my humble dwelling, i sat there contemplating;
the panoply of mundane things i imagine.
then an inimical chill, crawled up my shirt's frill..
that captured my attention..


i tried to ignore it..


in my meager abode i wonder, sitting there i ponder;
myriad lore i linger my thoughts in.
then an eerie premonition, a rather macabre sensation;
someones watching my every motion..

i fought to ignore it..


one cold dreary evening, i lie asleep dreaming;
my mind wandering through etheric planes..
then i'm awakened by a whisper, speech as cold as winter;
words to bleak to mention..

i struggled to ignore it..


one night after a hefty repast, wanting to retire at last;
i caught a glimpse of something at the corner of my sight.
green eyes from the wooden walls' cranny, staring at me blankly;
almost caused me indigestion..

this time i can't ignore it..


through fear my soul grew stronger, unable to bear it no longer;
i hurled my cane at the ominous glowering eyes.
in a wink it disappeared, as fast as it appeared;
like a fleeting hell's minion!..
