A ghost came out of my faucet
But he looked like an Angel to me
A skeleton walked right out of my closet
I guess he had no more secrets to keep
It’s funny now this smile on my lips
I shut the door with a crack
And put that smile in your fist
The reaper took a seat beside me
Shook my hand with a twitch
Checked his watch for the time
Then went to set some souls to rest
I think it’s kind of strange
How I just won this bet
Man, these headlights are getting pretty bright
As this highway curves between the lines
Cough it up again inside
Plastered on that bit of grime
The disease is coming out of me
Twisting in my bones so tight
You hold my seams with needles sharp
Now crisscrossed all around my heart
You knew how to piece it together just right
Even when things got dark
You drew a cloud around my head
Put your fingers upon the rain
Hey, hey, you brushed the storm away
Down way down into the drain
Where the ghost appeared again that day
Did you see? Did you see?
I could swear, he looked like an Angel to me…

Missed you terribly!
Interesting, doll. That's mostly what can be said here. I can't lie, I had to read it twice. That's what it took for me to really understand what you where talking about here. But once you interpret it, however it will be interpreted, it is really an insightful and defiant poem. You have taken feared beings and made them seem "normal". Or at least as normal gets.
Much love, as always,

I love this, especially the last set...to me it tells a story of someone who is being consumed by a terminal illness, but is fighting it and maybe losing the fight, hence the sighting of Mr. Reaper, although she clearly tells him, sorry buddy but I'm not going yet, nor am I going with you...and he doesn't have time to argue or wait around so he heads out.
Sounds like she waits for her angel instead.
This has a great flow and really does read quite beautifully.
With your writing, you have to really pay attention when you're reading and that makes it very special. You really should enter some of the poem of the...contests (week, month, year)..your stuff is so unique and original..well, in my opinion
Awesome piece!

Hahaha.
Lol! I thought the same thing in the beginning with the Reaper. And the whole death thing. When I was writing it though, it started out the two lines just popped in my head (as a song) and then im like woosh! The whole time I imagined it as a metaphor for fighting the dark and coming out with an Angel on your side at the end. But the way you took it is also really awesome. Thanks for pointing out the complexity of it lol!
Thankyou so very much
AND yes! One of these days I'll go enter a contest. I've actaully been looking at them the past few days...A few caught my eye. I'm just kinda lazy thats all
Thanks again you are the queen of pisces!!!!! Mwahaha! Mucho lovo!
