Ghosts

By: Tara Kimberley Torme

Ghosts chase me

Ghosts haunt me

Ghosts taunt me

Drowned ghosts rise

From the past

Out of ashes

Risen Phoenixes

Dementors

Undead vampires

Life sucking blood

Draining energies

Souless zombies

Each ghost killed

Rises faster, stronger

Resilient, immune

Taunts me relentless:

Water torture;

The rack, thumbscrew

Beaten down

‘Till I’m silent;

Submissive to ghosts’ will.
