~ The Phantoms

 

 

When the dusk fell, they came

The shadows of Moscow,

Along the wet and chilly streets

Where they walked in time

 

Lost stories, painful thoughts

Deep lost decay in their hearts

The sad silent shimmer all in gray

That did woes these spirits every day

 

Lost hope in any justice when

Days passed, but always on time

They were marching along the wet

Dark and cold streets of the city

 

For getting repentance they never had

This immense cold then howled like an icy

Wind that blew shrill past your ears,

Present at those moments you feared it most

 

From one fraction to the other

The street was clear again from their

Black smoke, as the night fell and the shadows

Had disappeared in the absence of light

 

Their whispers were still to hear

Flying and floating in the cold air

Screaming in the hope of tomorrow

But for now they fled in the death of the night

 

The disaster was gone for the moment

Until they return in dusk upper hue

To crack your soul, and your inner fear

And the bad conscience, which rest in you

Music - Beyond brilliant, just gave the piece an epic wow factor.
I can feel the ice cold streets of Moscow between my naked feet, the lost souls left behind, unable to follow the light they plague the streets, looking for a way to be accepted. I like how they fade away in the shadows as night arises... you give your poems personality and that is not easy to do.. every poem has an Elisa signature, a story.. so many writers here can learn from you.. I know I have! Wow, that picture too is perfect .. just puts a clear image of the poem in my head.. I'm in awe of this piece.. i really like it, I wish I wrote it :D

Thank you humbly my sweet friend, I'm so pleased you felt this one... I have a connection with Russia, it's woven through my many poetry. I'm so happy with your review :)

I felt very moved by this prose, as you have managed to capture so very well, the inner most thoughts and emotions of the Moscow couple, your descriptions of the atmosphere and the settings I thought were excellent also, is there no end to you talent? Thanks

Aw, thank you dear... your words mean so much to me... there is more coming in this genre, I'm working on it :)) x

We always run away from our dark and painful pasts. The dark memories lurking within us sometimes threaten to overshadow our inner light. It's a war between yourself and your other self. Nice read, my dearest:)

Thank you dearest :)

Another beautiful poem and photo from E.L. This one brought to mind Russia's tragic history of invasion starvation and genocide. When I scanned the popular reading list this morning this story was # 1. Out standing job E.L.

Thank you so much my dear friend. Oh was it lol, I was out hiking the whole day, and just am back, didn't noticed that, but thank you :)
