All due to an eerie cupboard call
more closely from a forgotten game board
the kind that drags out old discarded ghosts,
what wouldn't you do for a predictive session?..

Ever hear yourself talk of a presence
a brief judgment call of a nightly spirit
angelic or devilish,
imagine ensuing dialogues of the ethereal kind
there is your rational self, capped with a reflective mind
but with a stark testimony of supernatural revelations
you risk to be taken to the laundry on frivolous contestations

With accusations on the inexistence of the surreal
your better judgment escapes with the next appeal.

"Eerie calls emanate continuously
the sensation I am not alone
something watches what I do
sometimes it doesn't matter".

that remark is countered by an observable critique
of an imagination gone awry in a weakened physique..

"Hey man, how can you be so sure
there's a time for fantasies of dread
must be last night's spy thriller read
no special fantasy from visions so impure"..

All due to an eerie cupboard call
more closely from an alphabetic gameboard
that gets spirits to rise from their discontented sleep
to influence the curious that allow them to speak.

Martin,
Oh they are real. Real evil...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Thanks for forwarding the link Mysteria, I don't think many poets are aware of it
