The old rocking chair.

A antique put here,
Somehow left there.
Just a chair sits, &
Waits, in the corner
By the stairs...
Nothing visible in the air,
Just this old rocking chair.
Silence in its place,
Movement slowly takes,
It's shape...
A chill fills the atmosphere,
No ones sitting there.
As it rocks back & forth.
Swaying without a care...
Hearing creaking from a distance,
Distraction made more persistent.
Lifting on & off the ground,
Growing weary with each sound.
My heart pulsating, as each
Rock, turns more disturbing.
Crippled by a horrific sound,
A smokey vapor, engulfs &
Surrounds...
The old rocking chair,
A scream of panic, who has occupied
This chair? Is there anyone sitting, there?
As I hide all my fears, behind the
Stairs...
In the midst of all the confusion,
it quickly occurred
To me. Somehow once again, my imagination got
The best of me!!!

Hi Cherry,
Got to say I really enjoyed this. You just lead me along nicely, expecting the apparition to come in the chair, instead a pleasant surprise. I laughed at the end for sure. You pulled me in good sweetheart, nice one. I can't quite agree with John on this one, I think the way you ended it was actualy better than having an apparition. Anyhow, you have a nice day,
Catch you later,
MIKE.

You never know, it might have been a Dark Man stopping for a rest and a quick cup off tea. By the way, i'm partial to jammy dodgers. You take care now.
