Haunted Daydreams

A Spooky Ballet of Cute Ghosts in the Theatre of the Mind

By Mubashira KachhotPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

In shadows deep, where darkness thrives,

A specter lurks where reality dives.

A ghost in my room, a haunting mime,

Yet, in truth, it's just in my mind.

Whispers echo in the silent air,

A phantom's presence, my heart does bear.

But is it real, or a trick of the night?

A play of shadows, a mind in fright.

A cold breeze, a shiver down my spine,

Illusions dance in the moon's soft shine.

A ghost in my room, a phantom's glee,

Yet, perhaps, it's just a part of me.

In the corners, where shadows play,

Imagination weaves its spectral display.

A ghostly waltz in the pale moon's gleam,

Yet, it's but a figment of a restless dream.

Phantom footsteps on the creaking floor,

A symphony of fear, a ghostly lore.

Yet, reality whispers in a gentle hum,

The ghost in my room, a mind undone.

So, in the night's embrace, I find,

A ghost in my room, a creation of mind.

In the realm where illusions entwine,

It's just a specter born of thoughts malign.

The dawn will break, the shadows fade,

A mirage of haunting, in dreams laid.

For in the light of reality's bloom,

I'll find no ghost, just in my room.
