First Edit: Ghost Story

[homer1950]

Ghost Story

I have seen those who use passion
like a poltergeist shakes its chain.

Their words fistless pounding,
impossible to ignore.
Their actions composed of blood
that eventually disappears.
Their motive a dead child
who wanders an empty hall
in search of heaven.

I have seen these phantoms
fade away in daylight,
only to haunt me again.



Ghost Story

I’ve seen those- 
who use passion 
like a poltergeist 
shakes its chain. 

Their words-
fistless pounding
best to ignore.

Their actions-
composed of 
disappearing blood

Their motive-
a dead child
a disembodied soul
who wanders an empty hall
in search of heaven.

My prayers-
come daylight
these phantoms
fade away 
and haunt me no
more...

Richard loved the theme perhaps it needs some contrast for tension’s sake them vs you. Thank you for sharing your fine work. Homer
