This haunted temple of mine inside is just a spirit prison... Housing cold dark spirits that control my every thought... I have not chosen these frozen and unholy written visions... And though I'm blessed, I am a mess, and thoroughly possessed...
I would love to choose, the words I've used, to create a new tomorrow... Ghosts inside have taken over and gotten the best of me... I've lost control, of my sick soul, there's nothing left to borrow... I can't compete, I'm incomplete, there's no love left just sorrow...
Exorcisms failed to force from where these demons roam... Ghostly rebel spirits have now made me their new home... An abduction of, who I once was, a pure and innocent child... Ghostwriters in me, are obviously, the one's that wrote this poem....
This is just so complete in the "ghostwriter" in you and well versed! I really enjoyed this Candy! Excellent work!

This is cool Candy. Nice creative poem. And there's an upside to your possession. If all the exorcisms don't kick in you may be able to publish a whole series of 'other worldly' poems. Tales from the dark side. Cafe
Calmheart, than you for taking the time to read and comment on this, and in addition, thanks for your excellent contributions to the blog pages as well.

Hi Candy
Everything about this poem rings true in myself... I can honestly say,I have slowly but surly banished all those negative pesky ghosts and invited the positive ones to move right on in Some demons are not so scary when faced with the truth of the problem
A wonderful heartfelt read...thank you for sharing

Hi Christian, your poem was a pleasure to read. I love the fact that you started with one line of thought and didn't allow your mind to drift off into another world. Which is a sign of a good writer who puts alot of forethought and effort into his work.
Loved especially the third and forth rhyming couplets. I envision your words succinctly as though your emotions were mines. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation here Christian. It was a pleasure to peruse. Just excellent. M.M

this is really good candykid; it flows beautifully and is deeply expressive.
Hi, candykid, Between I would love to choose, the words i've used, to create a new tomorrow... and Ghosts inside have taken over and gotten the best of me..., I sense a civil war in the making. Thank you, or the Ghostwriter, for sharing this write.
Yes Jesse. ....I do in fact know that you have plenty of experience doing hand-to-hand combat with dem bones. Primate haze is sometimes the best medicine, thanks for your feedback Jes'.
That is exactly how I create a poem M.M.......I imagine a topic and make every effort to remain loyal to the original imagined concept. As you well know, it is innocently easy enough to deviate from your original intent when writing. Couplets are a literary device that I love to exploit in my writings and feel they can be very effective in expressing the original ideas in anyone's poem when they are used properly. I do thank you for that very specific feedback, and it is great to see you here once again my friend.
Beautifulyou....thank you .....the very first one that welcomed me and so many others over the years......thank you beautiful...you know you are.

As you have noticed, most of my poems have been taken off the site. Thanks for keeping in touch with me and for the encouragement to return at CS my friend. I'm looking forward to your next post. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Trinidad.

Smile : )
Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it’s breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You’ll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
You'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down ; ) Smile Smile Smile : )

candykid.. I was just thinking about you today and some other poets who have somewhat faded in the background. I really missed your poetry. Hope you're doing well my friend. I have to smile now and then because you were the first poet to realize I write in coded language..even my humorous poems. It's a blessing to read your work. Cafe
I have ghosts from the past that still haunt me too. That is why when the guys write on their profiles on date sites, they request a woman not to come with past baggage! Really? Get real! Everyone has baggage - no matter how strong your faith or what. We all have things that haunt us.
Good write Christian - hadn't seen this one before. Thank you Cafe for bringing it back to the top.
