Poetry Dramatic The Ghost Of Love
 

The Ghost Of Love Hot

The Ghost of Love

Love has a shadow,
A ghost you could say.
It follows and stalks you
each night and day.
Forget if you can
repent if you must.
It’s a taunting thing
you cannot trust.
Tortured by memories…
Of beautiful things.
You’ll soon hate it
and the tears it brings.
Dreams as cold fingers
clutching your heart.
Or the glimpse of your
face there in the dark.
Memories like that of
a specter’s touch.
A pain as in death
hurts you so much.
So beware my friend,
When love walks in.
for the ghost of love,
May haunt you again...

A good poem, after my own heart, slightly pessemistic, but that's how it feels!

From a personal point of view, call me Mr picky (!), it could be enhanced with attention to scansion, also the last rhyming style slightly detracted from an otherwise classic ending

Apart from these minor, subjective details, it flowed well and I enjoyed reading the poem.

Thanks for sharing!

Beautifully seen content that isn't over sentimental. It's such an easy thing to do, but you kept this under control I think. You introduce the theme of the poem in the first two lines and all the reader has to do is let it flow.
I'm not very strong on meter but I felt it flowed fine, better with a second reading. The ending is strong and the warning resonates to all who have been in relationships I suspect.

Nicely done and very enjoyable.

Best. Neil
