His Ghost

All day I sit on my porch cracking open pistachio nuts purely out of bordem
Nobody would ever guess that he haunts me

 

Tortchures me

 

Pulls me back

 

Won't leave me alone


By day

I smell his sent in the air

I hear his voice whisper to me in the breeze in the trees
I feel his arms embraces me in the wind
I see his face reflected in the stream
His face rippling in the water
But his smile never falters
For he is looking at me


by night
In my dreams he throws rocks at my window

He climbs up the Ivy vines into my room

I feel his hands caress my skin in my pillow

I feel the warmth of his flesh on mine in my blanket for he is the only one who warms me in the cold of night.

 

My Mother calls me at seven AM

Time to wake up

Time to go to school

However the gentleman Whom I used to Know will not acompany me In person

 

Oh I know he's still out there

For he haunts me


For it was I who killed him




but I must not forget it was he who killed me


when will he let me rest in peace....

    This is amazing, I know exactley how you feel. Weirdly enough I was thinking of writing a similar poem about how someone won't stop haunting me too. Good job!

  • wow..this was really good! it sent shivers down my spine as i read it. this was amazing! the emotions were so defined and clear, i could feel them jump out at me. the way you wrote this was very powerful, and makes a person stop and think of if there's someone in their life who has done something like that to them. excellent write and keep up the good work!

    Oooh, this sent little shivers down my spine. I love it! I really liked the way you opened it up on a completely ordinary scene to draw back the curtain and reveal the turmoil underneath in a quite haunting way. And ending with an open wandering thought that causes it to linger a little longer before fading into the wind...
