dreams
ghost Dec 2020
i use coffee to stay awake
when i sleep
i fade into our memories
than i see you break me
over and over
i see us together
than you leave me
an endless pit of darkness
you abandon me
i run after you

tranquil sea
ghost Dec 2020
hiding scars of past,
like seabed’s buried shipwrecks
skeletons from battles savage,
he stays on course, and
everyone’s convinced
it’s smooth sailing,
like tranquil sea.
hi guys I've been posting poems but no one can see them so I'm trying to fix whatever this is, I have to repost them around 6 times

waiting
ghost Jan 2021
Pastel smudges paint the sky,
reflect on the lake in half-light.
Emerging from darkness,
frosty star flowers,
take me into deep waters,
where sad thoughts wander.
Whispers of you by the shore,
I'm waiting and waiting.
hi reposting cause its just another poem no one could see

a friend
ghost Dec 2020
I keep telling myself
that its ok to be alone but
sometimes I find myself crying and
craving for someone to hold me

broke
ghost Dec 2020
you are the reason
I don't believe in love
you're all my past that turned into memories
my chocolate
which destroyed my teeth
guess you broke me pretty well

A swift escape
ghost Nov 2020
I go to sleep
Not cause I’m tired
Not cause I’m sleepy
I just do it
So I don’t have to stay awake

blame
ghost Nov 2020
I don't blame you
for abandoning me
nor do I blame me
for feeling pain
nor do I blame this world
for that what it is
I can only blame
time
it was never really on our side
now was it?

happy new year
ghost Jan 2021
I want to thank you
My dear friend... Yes
It's been a while... Let's
Keep past things, water under
The Bridge here and now...
It Was extremely nice to
Talk with you again...
Especially tonight, When I
Really needed a friend...
It turned out not to be
A ruined New Years Eve
Thanks to you, My dear
Friend... I hate to repeat
Myself, Like I sometimes do
But one more time I want
To Thank you & Wish
Your Loved Ones & For
You Too,  The Very Best
HAPPY NEW YEAR

apart

I acted like it
wasn't a big deal
when really it
was breaking me apart

dreams
ghost Nov 2020
beautiful silence
beautiful pain
we're only human
we're meant to dream
lost in a life full of mistakes
we do what feels right
then fall with no grace
chased by the sun
escaping flatlines
dreams are a curse
wake up you're alive
104 · Nov 2020
love and hate
ghost Nov 2020
is there a difference between
love and hate
there is
but in the end, it's just an emotion
and feelings change

big city
ghost Nov 2020
the sounds of the cars
in this big city
my ears tingling
a cup of coffee
as I write another review
time is slowly passing
my life is slowly fading
eyes are slowly shutting
and no one notices
why would they?
I'm just another person in the crowd
104 · Dec 2020
nightmare
ghost Dec 2020
Many a'night I've groaned like a wounded
Lion scaring my own shadow and
Left myself boneheaded
against the wall I dragged my feet
In ruins that wedded my grief,

Then I turned around;
could that be you soul brother Holding?
the rope so tight beneath my chin against this iroko's root,
My blood bleeding with tears,
I screamed but only my soul heard me.

But then came me that broke the shackles,
I redeemed my being!
The droplets upon my eyelids now taught me;
You were just a DREAM!

counsel
ghost Dec 2020
gazing at stars
when struggles with
darkness deep down
stretches the night,
I seek counsel,
searching you
amongst the brightest
of lights above.
ghost Dec 2020
It happens when life gets in my way,
that words in my head won't reach my hand,
they linger and fly away again,
on the soft breezes of hope and make-believe.

I never stopped making poems.
I only stopped writing them down
in the moments of silence, which have
become so scarce these days.

Tonight I've locked all windows.
I like to say that I put a pen in my hand,
but would you have believed that,
in these times of keyboards and touch screens?

So I sit here, staring at my screen and
slowly, very slowly my brain-hand coördiation
is gearing up, but it's like opening a rusty tap,
all that comes out is a bit of brownish water.

a dare
ghost Dec 2020
they said he'd be there
when I looked he was nowhere
I thought it was unfair
turns out it was all a dare
you played me, my dear
while I was true all along

empty words
ghost Oct 2020
"I love you"
such empty words
"I'll never let you get hurt"
such clear lies
" it won't hurt"
it did
they were all empty words
"I hate you"
hah...
that was my empty word

to be human
ghost Nov 2020
people driving fancy cars
look like beetles to the stars

the missiles and the bombs
are like symphonies gone wrong

and if there is a god
they'll know why it's so hard to be human

AFFECTION

after life
ghost Nov 2020
why would you come back to life
when you can rest in peace

if you decided to die

words
ghost Oct 2020
"laugh"
but nothings funny
"cry"
they say it's for the weak hearted
"fly"
but I'm human
"die"

I'll do all that ****!!!!
why does anyone else get to choose what I do? don't bother with those people. just live your life.

break out
ghost Dec 2020
Death or Freedom
I shall make my own choice,
never to be seen again
or silent lay my voice.
I am more than the
beauty your glass hold,
out there for me
the whole world will unfold,
and to my family
only will these stories
to be told.

all it takes
ghost Nov 2020
one word
and you can destroy me
but with just a word
you can fix me
so choose

with one lie
you can break me
but with one lie
you can build me

with one truth
you can bring me to my feet
with one truth
you make me rise to the stars

all it takes is a word
a lie
and the truth

in a world unknown
ghost Jan 2021
Emptiness. Vast landscape.
Hope, glistens.
Grey clouds
Passers-by.
Emptiness.
Nothing left.
Scrabbling for scraps
In a world Unknown.
Dusk approaches
Dawn rises
And we are reborn.
Not as one, but as whole.
honestly one of my 2021 favs

life
ghost Nov 2020
the sunsets
the moon rises
the clouds keep moving
the stars keep shining
the world keeps going on
people keep dying
people are born
someone smiles
someone cries
it all happens
and there's nothing you can do about it

Go outside

we're all sinners
some of us just learn
to accept
regret and overcome
our sins
while others live
their entire life bound
by the chains of their sins

the past
ghost Dec 2020
the past is like shackles
I could break free
but I'm too afraid that
my future is not what I dream
so I'm better off in prison

am I really me
when I try to be you
I am still me
since you are me

love story

you've never deeply fallen for someone,

sweet and happy romances are
easily forgotten
only love stories
with blood and tragedy are remembered

alone
ghost Oct 2020
he kissed her goodbye and closed his eyes
his face with a painful smile
his hands so cold
and his face so pale
left his daughter alone
the world so cruel
the girl so alone

I'M GOOD
ghost Nov 2020

lonley ghost
ghost Dec 2020
a lonely ghost
wanders by the coast
with the ocean view, he's obsessed
in ***** white, he's dressed
he's got, friends
but their lives have reached their ends
so he's a lonely ghost
nothing less
nothing more

bored
ghost Nov 2020
You too
Must have felt it
When you had nothing to do
No where to go
And no one to talk to
You walked down the stairs
And had a romantic walk to that empty fridge
Waiting for a miracle
Yet the pizza
The cake, juice, wine, chocolate  
Never showed up
90 · Dec 2020
battle
ghost Dec 2020
we built walls
only to see them
crumble and fall
we won battles
only to lose what can not be returned
for eternity

every hue of inner gray
ghost Dec 2020
Whitewashed wall blue
colored turquoise grey-cyan absence
darkness was better than staring
Watching nothing while everything turned
sitting hollow and uncaring
stalking each shift of unsuspecting hue
Watching whitewashed wall blue
I went with the style abcdcaa of the Zainbac form of poetry
ghost Dec 2020
toads poetry
and trees autobiographies
about chance meetings with odd visitors
near-death encounters
miraculous recoveries
the miracle of family
and those dawns of sweet peace

one can only speculate  however
how our human characters would appear
in this down-to-earth writing

there being a shortlist
a very slim list actually
of heroes to choose from
