Face in the Smoke.

There are creatures,
Just behind,
Slightly living,
Slightly blind.

Weaving circles,
Of lost delights,
In evening shades,
Lost at night.

You feel their whispers,
On goose bumped arms,
You hear their voices,
Subconscious alarms.

Perhaps you are dreaming,
Perhaps they aren’t real,
Perhaps it is nothing,
The chill that you feel.

Live in your ignorance,
Live in blind hope,
Until you see,
The face in the smoke.

    The creatures.

  • Paul Rees-Jones replied

    Ah…you have just become one of my favorite people…no one has ever asked a question like that…lol. I have an active imagination…perhaps these creatures are ghosts…perhaps they are created by our own imagination…perhaps as in the picture created by Rob, they are illusions. There are things that go bunp in the night, shadows in the corner of your eye, creatures that lurk under the bed, all of these things are non existant, made real by our own fears…interpretation is open..what are they to you? Me thinks i have to write a story now…yes you are a favourite person indeed….Thanks for making me think a bit on this one.
