Ghost That I Run From

29 Comments

I slept in bed like a baby, lights off, the room was pitch dark, suddenly I felt a light breeze crawl across my skin and then a human touch on my duvet. I tasted fear on my tongue which was traumatically bitter, and I knew I was been hunted by a ghost. My eyes were tightly shut, I couldn’t open them because of revelation of what would unfold; too scared of the picture I painted in my head!

Guess what? I watched a paranormal movie before I went to bed, and unfortunately for me, the image of the activities in the movie stuck in my head.

I believe ghosts are images we create ourselves, that means we are the ones hunting ourselves😀😀

Reach Out To Them

12 Comments

Indigent, poverty-stricken

Begging for alms,

Now their survival technique

They cry out for help

Not their fault, deprived

Of their homes

Reach out to them

 

Emotionally detached,

Sad, loneliness has overridden joy

Living in an environment

With fierce combart

They’ve been hurt, deprived

Of the pleasures they deserve

Reach out to them.

 

Abused, battered,

The wicked has shown them hostility

Fear has crippled into them

They hide amongst the crowd

They can’t cry out, deprived

Of freedom they deserve

Reach out to them.

 

Dying of ill-health

From an ailment with no cure

A bad omen for them

Negativity has crawled into them

They are upset, deprived

Of help from those that can offer

Reach out to them.

Obsessed Over Image

29 Comments

You stare solemnly

At your sultry image

Obsessed over yourself

Selfishly, but hurting

Thinking the stars will fall

At your feet

The world does not revolve around you.

He lies beneath the surface

30 Comments

Sparkling clear glamour

Imitating the sky blue

Something lies beneath the surface

Drifting in silent metamorphosis

In depth of pitch black

The soul no one knows

Shallow fierceness that lies

In a man’s heart

Thread softly, be at alert

Do not fall prey to the hunter.

Drunk Joker

Leave a comment

People move along on their journey

In batches with mixed feelings

On each individual, written emotions.

brought about by moments of events.

 

He flaunts the jokes when drunk

to ease pain, that balances the blood pressure

It cracks, makes the belly expand

brings tears of laughter to the eyes.

 

He’s a joker who makes the

lips curve out in laughter,

that touches the eyes,

to bring sparks of light that

lightens up the mood

he turns night to daylight

with words filled with liquor

Jokes should be surreal , otherwise

considered as hurtful words.
