Thirsty ghost

What do you know about ghosts?

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

The ghost comes and goes sometimes

And says: What do you know about ghosts?

I answered him: A shadow reveals itself

In the darkness of the world without crying

And scares the sad seer if darkness falls

The night, and the wound remains after the noise

And visits whoever throws it space

Soldiers of the nights on a stormy day

Irresistible, and it is the strongest of creatures

It defeats the strong without a weapon

When I heard a knock on my door, I got up

Immediately, for there is only the needy

... I cry and say: Thirst is almost killing me

And he flies with me in the horizon without wings

I brought him the water of immortality from my kindness

And I lost him in his moment in my corners

When I approached, he moved away, so I said to the one in pain:

Do you think that my closeness to you is like a joke?

He said: Come closer... Turn off that lamp in

the rooms of imagination, so I said: I am not close

So he took my hand, so I answered him: This is my hand

So I extended it until my morning came

Then the terror left me in broad daylight

So my wounds in this were healed by that
