Haunting Voices

Haunting voices sing softly at midnight Beckoning the owl to hoot a mystic measure Haunting voices whisper their hidden delight Tempered moods are taken in with leisure. Hear the twinkling of an impressionistic bell Painting strokes through the early morning A fog is flowing through the drifting dawn Eerily mixing its coloristic hypnotic pleasures Haunting voices have recited their warning As we devour breakfast at the wishing well Velvet drapes are hung in utmost candor In royal décor and sumptuous splendor We brush our sleepers and start to yawn As the murky spirits say a bitter farewell I escape this world of uncanny horror Playing a phrase as I dance and dwell Haunting voices sing as I’m performing Surrounded by cobwebs in a citadel Playing harpsichord in candlelight Without fright as the spirits slumber As we brave the ever mounting storm With its darkness, lightning and thunder Then a naked ballerina tiptoes in fashion Springing forth with a chasse and pirouette Asking her as she swirls with passion If the haunting voices were here overnight. As the fog is pierced with a sunray This evening will remain as a silhouette. Delicate kisses on the forehead ease the play Riding in a fury of pure compassion As these haunting voices will mysteriously invite The goblins and ghouls and imps alike To take part in a round a Russian roulette. After the gruesome and ghastly session Began the boredom of a commonplace day Encompassing the processes we won’t forget As the apparitions appear on the window pane The haunting voices stir beneath the surface Demanding attention and driving us insane In a cabalistic jumble they serve the purpose Of nonsensical disturbances quite curiously Invading our space with their ugly curses With belligerent annoyances so obviously On the horizon comes a chorus of verses Liberating with hope what we will obtain Through belief and faith and a chasonette We haunt these voices with a soft refrain Hence we will purge ourselves from this agony Lifting toward an eminent Nirvana raising ourselves to a higher plane.
