Ghost Poem by Mahlubandile Phillips

A ghost wonders the
room, a smile a woman
he once knew

A face graces the evening
to remind the man
what he lost

Memories continue to haunt
an imminent force
came from winter s fall

Scars refuse to heal the ghost
persecutes and judge's when
tears should drop

A man is grieving everyday
like seas raging across seabed
His heart sings tunes of who
got away

Daylight he breaths and freed
by night the ghost lays
besides the bed.
