OK, on a more serious note than my poetry. Yes I do believe in ghosts. I've experienced them quite a lot over the years; It's not something that particularly bothers me, it just seems to happen more to the people who are receptive to it.

At my last house there was girl, younger than me, who called herself Orange (I don't know why). She first ( Read more... )

Spirits are real, you have only to see
Put faith in your eyes, and there they will be
Though some may be known for the fear they inspire
It's few in between that would have that desire
Their home may be dusty, their world gone to mould
The world has kept growing while they remain old
But the full of your life's when you wish for the sun

How the fuck did you come back to life?

Breaking free.

Hmmmm... I seem to have done it again...

A memory tucked away, far in the past
Closely warm times that never could last
Time lost in decades, but a child of three
Sitting on a lost great grandad's high knee

Feeling love that would go spurned
Not relying on my mind
Speaking words that were unkind
Not paying enough attention
Feeling pain I did not mention
Stifling another's voice
Never giving them a choice
Saying things I did not mean
Letting life become routine
Giving up on speaking out
Forgetting what ( Read more... )
