Phantasm Poem by Barry Middleton

Phantasm



the apparition of the town
stopped to let the stars fall down

the aged poet sat bemused
by dreams and questions he perused

regardless how the cold wind blows
the songs of poets are composed


the night stands still in fantasy
of bygone tears and ecstasy

the tincture of the harvest moon
comes to end the saddest tune

but ghosts and phantoms yet abound
and wait to watch the sun go down
