Phantoms

Phantoms
voices call to me from the grave moments lost but never fade
ghostly foot steps on your floor voices echos at your door
lusting now for my soul tempting me is their goal
invitation to the devils dance darkest magic im in a trance
can you them knock, knock shadows in the night they dance on your dreams
while holding your pillow tight
haunted faces on my wall spirits rise and then I fall phantoms shadows fill
up my room i m incantation spells out my doom wake up soon my soul want last
now I fell their growing power it approaches the midnight hour
About this poem
