Ghosts of history

 

Ghosts of history

over time they fade.

Leaving behind only mystery,

the mistakes made.

Which we repeat.

Over and over.

A stuck record,

the needle jumping back to the groove before.

Over and over,

repeating the same phrase.

It repeats like the futility of war.

 

Ghosts of history.

Their limbs missing,

holes where holes should not be.

They march through the dreams and nightmares we see.

And we learn nothing.

The fragility of the mind,

the broken men and women left behind.

The ones that never come back,

or return but with minds cracked.

 

Ghosts of history.

They sit around war memorials,

they filter through our mental hospitals.

they get lost on numerous systems.

Ghosts in the machine.

History's lessons still shown on some screens.

But we ignore them.

We ignore the moans,

the groans,

because war is profit.

War fills pockets.

Scrawl

 

Take a thought,

sprinkle it with fine magic dust,

add it to the little chalkboard in my head, 

hopefully I'll notice it again

amongst the scribbles.

Those old childlike pictures

that come to me in a dribble.

Scrawled in crayon,

but it feels like neon

burning brightly

into my inner vision.

 

Take a thought,

wrap it in the finest blanket.

Add it to the den I've created in my head,

the one that reminds me of childhood.

Where we would

walk for hours,

miles

lost in our own mind floods.

Exploring,

looking for adventure,

discovering

lost hidden treasure.

 

Take a thought and coat it in glitter.

Let it sparkle, like the summers of old,

where the sun shone bright and gold.

Where we could always find excitement,

whatever the weather

and fairweather friends were like those feathered fiends,

flapping their wings before soaring away

but we always had forever and a day.

To spend on us,

my thoughts and me.

In Shadows Out Now

 

Something is coming,

it's hiding in the dark.

In shadows, it is stalking,

ready to stop your heart.

 

This poetry collection will take you deep into the bowels of hell, 

Through its lava filled mouth, where demons howl.

Meet the many horrors that infest your nightmares.

Ghosts and ghouls, ready to give a scare.

Spectres and phantoms in the darkest lairs.

Sounds that go bump in the night,

Beings that lurk, when you turn out the light.

217 pages of horror themed poetry storytelling.

Filled with humour, scares, light and shade.

so please grab a copy, available in kindle, paperback and hardback editions, 

turn the lights down low and enjoy.
