Poetry: Ghost from the past

by Gerry Legister


Nightmares from the past,

Brings disturbance ringing in my ears,

Unseen voices terrifying my interest,

Whispering gesture with imagery of fears.

Shadows comply in the dark corner

Help to shake the hands and feet,

Conjuring up horrid fear,

Exorcist phantoms from the past,

Familiar spirits having lived a lifetime,

Now seeks another irreconcilable urge,

Steer back into the reality of peoples mind,

The ghost from the past reemerges.

To take possession waiting in other dept,

Existence without real proof,

The images of stolen identity crept,

Into bodies fractured by reproof.

Ghost from the past live in time less moment,

Changing with time already fled,

To find whatever love takes as torment,

Will imagine the living as though they are not dead.
