Was It A Ghost? Poem by Ramesh Shrestha

Mid-Night had just arrived
I was alone in my house
Reading novel in my hand
And feeling lil bit drowse

Then I woke up suddenly
With the sound of footsteps
Coming from the distant place
Like someone was on a chase

I moved to the back space
To the balcony, behind site
With the funny, scared face
And my hands carrying light

As I looked into the bush
Shaking by the air that push
I could see a white shadow
Moving like a fast arrow

Then it appeared before me
In such time, I can't remind
In the front of little tree
I could see a white mankind!

She was like an old woman
With blood coming from hand
Wearing a white saree
And her face looked scary!

Her eyes were like big marble
Her hand with burning candle
Her bare feet covered with dirt
Her hair was all dispersed

She was walking towards me
Staring me with marble eyes
Stepping with dirt filled feet
And burning candle in her hand

I was then such afraid
I turned back in extreme threat
I was, about to flee
Then something happened to me

I fell down from the bed
And woke up with heavy head
All that, I saw the scenes
Thanks God, it was only a Dream! ! !
