While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping.

There are strange ambivalence done in the midnight sun,

Random visits can be counted as one.

But, with serene mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door

 

The Sparrow, the Dove, The Linnet and Thrush,

Right above my chamber door.

Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

There wasn't an inclination of breath in that land of death,

 

As the stark night falls down through the mists

I hate the way the light casts on the rigorous shadows as they pass

The silence is shattered and I was jostled 

By the distended monsters in my head.

 

The wind is so impeccably strong; 

What it says, I don’t know, but it sings a loud deceitful song.

Now a promise made is a debt unpaid, 

and the trail has its own stern prestigious code.

I felt an appearance of an aberration lurking near

That one loud song would strike me fear

That aberration I had felt was strange

I knew exactly what it was and I would soon learn more

One bone-chilling night I was sitting next to the parapet 

as I stood there I heard   

    every word the ghost had spoke 

I felt the echos through the frightening abode   

   For I left awake hiding and out of breath 

as I had dawdled whiling running away

  I turned my head slowly and saw something on the deck

Then the bones of an immortal apparition,

exiled forever on shores of the prairie.

Then a ghost like feature,

Came out of a fleet of ships 

moves twinkling up the river

and disappears from sight. 

I ran praying as the sounds of ghosts came near

The spirit told me that he had a foray into his ship

I had ran around the house 

Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)

Felt something breathing behind me 

I froze knowing that it was the spirit that lurked behind

 So I decided I was going to have to take a venture 

I was too scared to look back so I just ran

I was agog to see a window  

But then the monster clawed my leg and the ghost came up to me breathing harshly 

The spirit said he came back for his riches

I tried to run

And I did sporadically

 But I was resilient

As the scream of my pain, I went through the house  

While coming into the ship to collect his treasure

What the ghost had said was hair raising

I was very appalled  

No one is a sovereign to this land

A hiatus had broken me

Something new was happening to me

So many experiences I have with this evil creature is flabbergasting

On the court was the next stop the creature had for me

The solemn man at the center of his eyes,

   Breathes the satiable amount with much intuition took the shot,

    Something went wrong,

    And then squeezed by silence,

    He was lethargic.

 

    Until every face begs with unsounding screams---,

    The teachers conceded that it's the end of the world,

    And disappears from  sight,

    Search for a streak of light,

    The students were abet for the end of the world.

 

    I have out walked the furthest city light in an adventure,

    He was a big man and agile,

    Says the size of his shoes.

    He moved in a galumph matter,

    And he was in an amok state.

 

    And the child? Its toys are strewn in the yard,

    On a pile of broken dishes by the house,

    Says the empty house that had been sabotaged 

    Is already dimmed for the morning,

    The boat diverged from its original path.


I convicted the ghost once and for all

I confronted it about this nonsense it has created

It said it would be back

And so it did

But little did that spirit know I had the faculty of a God

Decaying timber moans softly in the dismal twilight

Flabbergasted by the silhouette of shadows

I stood there deep into that darkness peering

Like the skeleton of a monotonous ancient sea beast

Felt echoing through the shadowiness of the astronomical motionless house

Punctured by the fear inside of me

Inevitable to get past the spirit that haunts

Having a shaft in my hand for protection

“Terror hides inside these egregious woods,” I said to myself

Haunting every soul that walks near

Wanting to relinquish my adventure

I knew that this pesky, miscreant darkness would not take over me

Nearly to my goal and what I came here for

I was aghast by the sound of grumbles from inside

I knew I wouldn’t be able to fight this spirit within alone

One more time the evil had won

But little did it know I would be back with a vengeance
