An idea, like a ghost, must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself.
—Charles Dickens



Speak to the ghost


And shimmering Moon

Like a face

Beneath water

Rippling gloom


Bind it and cast it

From the room

Let it shriek

and moan

till the crack

of doom.


Obsessed

And oppressed

By memory,

The wind

Stirs the curtain

In mockery…


And nothing

Of our time

Or world is left,

But the image

Of you

In your white dress.

Creo que a veces los fantasmas son seres que vienen a traernos mensajes del más allá, @johnjgeddes. Pero también a veces los llevamos adentro, se alojan en nuestra alma, nos persiguen y atormetan. Esos fantasmas son los peores, porque más que decirnos, vienen a enrostrarnos lo que somos. Hablar con ellos puede ser una forma de apacientarlos, pero también de dejarlos salir. Que tengas reparadora noche.

Los verdugos deben ser expulsados mediante la oración y el ayuno; los otros son más misteriosos e inquietantes de una manera triste.

Just wrote a little story about talking with a ghost. It's based on a real life experience. I'll polish it a little and post it one of these day. Ghosts can be far more interesting than living, breathing people.

I think people who have never seen ghosts live in a drab world

Good poet.
But i don't think there are ghosts at anywhere.

There are ghosts everywhere. They live in your memories and the memories of every living thing.

those are the most wistful hauntings :)


Another piece of good work from you..
