Willing Lamentation

lonely_ghost_girl_by_ghyselenbert-d4ydial

Caught in a web of Infinite Splendor,
Trapped in silence that refuses to speak,
Lost in a Reality we cannot Engender,
Afraid of the Light,
I am too weak.

Ensnared by my own discontent,
Bound to this place by Inclination,
Bearing a Message that was never sent,
Lingering Eternally,
Willing Lamentation.

Can you hear me when I cry?
Do my words Ignite Your flame?
Ever and Always asking Why,
Captured by Wailing
And All the Memory it Claims.

    1. I think the possibility of a spirit lingering in perpetual mourning of what was lost, in loneliness and despair is one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard of…and if it’s true…if some do….OH so sad how they cheat themselves. This is what sparked the poem. The Image was a Miraculous find and I agree, is hauntingly beautiful!

  2. Nice… In the days when I was heavily into the occult,
    I read that ghosts are spirits that cannot let go of the times they lived in
    So, they hang around, in lament, in the times they had lived in.
    To me, your poem expresses some of this. It is surreal
