Gunpowder Blues

Ghostline

dedicated to indig0jesse. i hope you like it. i referenced your book Ghosting You in this poem. i also gave you a song.

-

psychic presence i may have

still i wonder

how to make you fall in love

with the scripture i scrawl;

o if only to break through your joyous exterior

and speak to the man hurting within.

i'd cradle your dreamy tears

in my bosom; the ghosts of misery

keeping you writing pages of paranormal fantasy

long into the twilight hours.

i speak to the scars

that made you believe in an afterlife in the first place;

the many beautiful deaths you've experienced

to turn you into a writer of magnificent prose.

i hope whoever you miss

from the wrapping tendrils of life

calls you on the ghostline.
