[hometext] => Just a little ghost story with a different ending................written while sat by a pool in blazing hot sun !!
[bodytext] => Inside the old chateau the air was still and breathless Dust sheets thrown lazily over worn furniture hid the past Light danced through shutters,late afternoon marched into dusk Faded pictures stared as sentinels to all corners of the room Specks of ash in the old stone hearth marked proof of former life Among the silence and the nothing, lasting presence reigned In chambers on the upper floor strange noises cut the dark Creaks and groans a wakening that death could not defy Footsteps in the lower hallway screamed his mind awake Ice to the senses, cold fingers stroked the spine Candle danced, contorted flames hypnotic in the gloom As the first of the shadows crossed from the other side They did not know his purpose, those who warned against it Like a boxed up secret with a precious, single key Another shadow skimmed along the edges of the ceiling As he sank into the high-backed, strange familiar wooden chair As hours melted, futher shadows formed from muddied light Until all six had visited as the tellers had foretold Candle flames now flickered bright as six merged into one And formed into a hollow face of silence by the door He looked upon the apparition, knew the features shown Remorse bit deep as tears took hold and dropped him to his knees I am here now father, be at peace, let your spirit take its rest The figure smiled, held out his arms, then faded into night [comments] => 6 [counter] => 422 [topic] => 49 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 17 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => mystical )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
