Happy Darkest Halloween Tonight

Halloween or not
Ghosts at times
make a plot
to come upon weaker minds
and dance about just to shine

if you go to the loo
at night
in utter darkness
switch on no lights

then when you return
to your bedroom
you will see
layers upon layers of bed-sheets
and
bedding
ghosts you feel

but when you see a distant bulb glowing
you accept all was simple hallucination

ghosts exist still
for feeble minds only
but they do
if you also wish them to

So Happy Halloween
may a million ghosts
visit you
sleep at night
near Ride-lieu
the cemetery
may quickly welcome
you

Comments

I am still on the fence about ghosts and spirits even after living on this Earth for seventy years. I waver back and forth with belief and cynicism and indecision still torments me. I have at various times, decided [as you have], that it is all in the mind and you see what you want [or don't want] to. Nice work in describing the situation from a believer's [most probably a child's prospective]. ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

@79 I have not seen even one
but experienced hallucinations
when oldies dead and gone since ages
come in dreams

Yes for kids Halloween must still be fun they get chocos and sweets share with oldies toothless like perhaps u and me
Any way HAPPY HALLOWEEN
thanks for the input
We will discuss if you wish to
