Ghost Town

[ A ghost town is an abandoned village, town or city, usually one which contains substantial visible remains. A town often becomes a ghost town because the economic activity that supported it, has failed]


Walked again, into the old and arid place,
Ages it has been since I last saw its face.
The once concrete roads are now bleeding dust,
Blinds are drawn on the windows, their skin full of rust.
Snubbed the gravel’s greetings under my boots,
But the silence’s screams crawled under my hair's roots.
Familiarity was lurking somewhere in an anonymous house of fears,
While a sea of sad silhouettes crouched, creating an oasis with their tears.

Hush!

Velvety darkness, softly ran its hand on the curve of my waist,
Suddenly feeling starved, I grabbed and sucked on it for a taste.
The windows rattled...
The silhouettes shuddered...
The dust rose from its grave into a blizzard.
I shut my eyes, as into me, it walked

Howl!

I opened the stinging eyes of mine,
and felt a snake of coldness slither down my spine.
.
.
in front of the mirror, with a cold gaze,
I saw the old and arid face.
