Ghost
When words just chase each other’s tails
frightened rabbits in mental jails
Gnawing at the wire cage
Running from some rabid rage
So scratch at walls with bloody nails
But words must out as bards will tell
My ledger bears a heavy weight
Accounts of old wrongs in dusty crates
Rights, when dawdling, who came too late
This ledger sits inside my chest
A morbid brooding party guest
I’d wish that ledger go away
But in my chest he stubborn stays
This ledger full of rabbit words
Dark pools that need not be disturbed
Prickly poisons strangely stirred
Plaintive cries I barely heard
The song of melancholy birds
Oceans boiling, psychic beasts
Seas I want to visit least
Waves crash along that fearful coast
Whose fog reveals my lovely ghost
That presence now I miss the most
The ghost that is, the she that was
magic bound in all she does
A ghost I lost in crashing waves
When winds tore trees in crazy raves
Ghost consumed in fiery rains
A ghost of that ghost yet still remains
Spirit of a thousand trees
Fairies riding bumblebees
My ledger sings of fairy ghosts
The song of skies with stormclouds host
The song I fear and love the most
