Apparition giving me your hand
Who knows where we go
Vision as real as the sand
See how easy it flows
Take me up with your eyes
Silence is shattered
Break me down with your cries
My thoughts are scattered

Sprit wrapped in grey
Tell me what you say
Sprit tell me – who dies today?

Memories still on my mind
Distant voices echo ‘round
Patiently stars keep their shine
The light goes out with a sound
Hand reaching for my heart
Frost stops the flow
Stand where time never starts
Come with me, Banshee, let us go

Spirit wrapped in grey
Tell me what you’re trying to say
Spirit tell me – who dies today?

I can’t take my eyes off you
Is it me you’re calling to?
Vision blacker than the black
Just what are you doing to me?
Apparition I’ve got to get back
Like light of day so I can see
Haunting me, piercing the night
With your shrieks of prophecy
Taunting me, my skin goes white
As you’re pointing down at me

Spirit wrapped in grey
Tell me what you say
Sprit tell me – who dies today?

It’s a mystery as I’m drawn nearer
To the edge of a cliff
Sits upon my soul, this shadowy fear
My neck hairs grow stiff
Apparition giving me your hand
Who knows where we’ll go
Vision as real as time’s sand
Pulling me to the rocks below
I can’t take my eyes off you
It is me you’re calling to

Spirit wrapped in grey
What you’re trying to say,
It is I who will die today

wow...this is great in a haunted way, your intention I'm sure...the rhyme flow is smooth ... flows like butter(smile)...
the use of the word apparition is perfect...
some words were meant to be used in poems.
thanks much for my latest fix
stalk ya later, JM


 You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name
And know my love and my desperation were one and the same...
Baby it's alright...
Take this pain and all this sadness
It's alright
Take this rain
You're going to be free...
Jackson Browne
*I love you baby*

i feel like a drug dealer doling out fixes...*L*
This was originally meant to be a song, but kind of fizzled, musically that is.
I love that you got the haunted aspect of this, and the apparition.

your poems form such vivid pictures in my mind.  i love the way they force me to enter a world of darkness and dreary surroundings.  its so clear.  so scarry.

Devin, that is a compliment indeed. To make your words accessible and vivid for someone else.
