Little Visits
Not my best topic but I thought I'd try a supernatural theme. I had fun with it anyhow!Can you see the little visitor in the picture...?
There's a tap on the door, that whisper again
as clear as the beam that emits
Drawing me ever so near to the edge
where me and herself often sits
Laughter awakens me, barefooted steps
are chasing the violet scent
That follows me spirally up to the top
as the thrashes of waves circumvent
Ribbons attach to the railings around,
seaweed invites itself in
A brooch hops about with no help from a hand
and lullaby echoes begin
A touch to the forehead, shadows that flit,
a quickening hush of the waves
Things thrown from high in the lantern room,
brought back on the gentlest lave
The sea took a gemstone, all calmness and light
adopting a beautiful pearl
Who misjudged the rocks leading back from the tower
a poor little slip of a girl
Such a beautiful haunting, the lighthouse agrees,
who'll believe it when he comes ashore?
The word of a Mariner heavily fuelled
with a lost soul and whisky galore
So there around runs little Molly,
with eyes of aquamarine
Saying hello with her antics -
felt but yet still to be seen

Tap...tap...tap, at my door, what a lovely, and mysterious piece indeed!
Love a spooky tale ...
Oh, this is a good one! I love a ghost story and I didn't notice the visitor until you pointed her out.
I know a good ghost when I meet one...this is like a movie..so good...
