ghast,, flickers

ghast,, flickers
seen figures
staring from corners
lost loners
keep me company

still photos
imposed upon walls
the dead mask
dripping, water, falls
do I need to ask

Tearing pain
behind lens, green
cast upon grey stains
under fingers been
dirt from digging

into a shallow ground
will the dead groan
as I steal the faces found
grim masked, am I owned
faces follow

rise and fall with breath
under water swept
Drowning in locations
under and wet
a Faceless animation

in the sea of faces
wept on floors swept
lost in pain, disturbed
flailing, but not for fun
fissures line
a body marked
and slowly 
circling
until I fall
it's never that far.

I have been writing poetry for the last 13 years. It all started as an assignment for a creative writing course. I never thought I would like writing, as I am dyslexic and language was always a struggle for me, but I fell in love with the art form in that class.
