"A Ghost" by Steve Doyle

SF&F Picture 1 out of 45 by Steve Doyle

This is about as close as I get to writing 'romance'.

A Ghost

I never believed in ghosts.

Their existence I considered a hoax.

That the dead could return again

Was a notion I would not entertain.

But now I know better

For I've passed on to the other side.

I can see you there alone

And I can hear you cry.

I want so badly to touch you

And hold you close

But I cannot reach you.

You don't believe in ghosts.

6 Jan 2004	Sarah Tomesky	Loading... Great perspective to take. Very cool.
14 Feb 2004	Teresa	Loading... ghosts are coool!!! lol. I agree though, that's a nice twist at the end. it's so sweet and so...uhm....I'd say romanticized..but that's just...a bad word...lol
18 Feb 2004	Ben Cameron	Loading... Whilst reading this, I had the sudden urge to turn around. Nothing was there, but it was an interesting experience nonetheless for something so short to make me want to do something physical. Great poem - such an interesting concept as well.
6 Mar 2004	Maisha 'Elenwyn' Foster-O'Neal	Loading... grins you never fail to stick some irony in there at the end, do you? : P heh, i love it. poor ghost... hugs and chocolate chip cookies so sad... Peace and whatever other random object i come up with next, ~Elenwyn~
5 May 2004	Lindsey M. Butler	Loading... Wow that's a powerful ending! Sad too. I like the way you've sort of twisted the concept of disbelief. Nothing like becoming a ghost to realize they're real! Excellent poem.
18 Jul 2004	Peregrin B.	Loading... short... yet somehow amazingly good. I like ghosts
15 Jun 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Woow.. Really touching romantic too
