Sometimes ghosts haunt you
even in your dreams
Sometimes they demand conversation
Engagement you’re not ready to provide
At any cost, avoid possession
For surely then, you’ve lost it all
and then, hope escapes you
like a clouded over full moon
When phantoms come calling
become too much for you
pray, as you never have before
starting first with our Father
thou art in Heaven
protect me, in thy name
Then, ask the blessed angels
your guardian watchmen, be brought forth
in the Holy Ghost’s name, protecting
you against desperate incarnate beings
seeking complicit bodies
to host their reincarnation
In whose name, we ask
what no other can oblige
but safekeeping from all evil
And, in the name of the most holy, amen

Poetic Alchemist 
Aurora: Thanks. Yes, it is more than a poem. And, it all starts with a dream…
What an interesting piece that is so much more than a poem! Particularly timely right now, isn’t it?
Thanks Dan.
Thanks Floots.
Hope you both enjoy the weekend ghost-free by the way. LOL.
while not exactly caspars
i’m glad to say that most of my ghosts are friendly
(albeit somewhat melancholy)
cheers
Amen!
Lahari: Thank you. I believe we are. The key is to avoid be a willing host for such ghosts.
All of us are haunted by some kind of a ghost and you have expressed that very well.
