army of ghosts




army of ghosts

gathering of ghosts
like an army
exiled to the other side
watch us in our daily-daily

on the other side
where lives no
petty prejudice
as here
where we all are

ghosts wander, wonder
and wait
wailings of the physical realm
visit their diaphanous
visages

they watch our
libidinous acts
and our kind ones,
and wait

our sanguinary ways
they have laid down
as mistakes
of emotional
repletion

they wait
for awareness
that is sure to come
to us each

at our licentious behaviours
they do not scoff
they merely
shed a gossamer tear
and wait.

Perhaps these ghosts are our disappointments. Waiting to be fulfilled. All those things that might have been but still live in tortured hope. Nice work.

How sad, Victor! I would like to think of the dead as resting peacefully, uncaring about this imperfect world of ours. A very dark poem.
