Ghost Afterlife

I am going to try a little something different here. My blogs have been far from personal. Just about blogging, earning money, other blogs, you get the idea. I have been mulling over the idea of a new website, featuring my old poetry, song lyrics, and other bloggers poetry as well. To try to test out how good the response is, I am going to post a few poems here and on Blog about your Blog.

Comments are encouraged. Thank you.

Ghost Afterlife
3/25/04

Like a ghost
You see right through me
Invisible to your sight,
but I’m here

Like a ghost
You walk right through me
I’m undetectable from your touch,
but I’m here

Like a ghost
You can’t hear me
My words have fallen deaf to your ears,
but I’m here

Like a ghost
You can feel my presence
but your not sure if I’m real
I’ve been overlooked, but I’m here

Like a ghost, you can reach through my body
Which you've already done
And pull out my non-existent heart
Which you've already broken

All I am now is a ghost
Trying not to disappear
Piece by piece I start to vanish
Trying to hold on, to my afterlife
