Illo Friday: Ghost
Boxed up
I am torturing myself
Locking up myself
To a seclusion of frailty
Of my own weakness;
Of my own grief.
I have gone
Not knowing when to return
If I should return
Not knowing what’s ahead of me
Not caring.
I have crossed the boundaries
Of my own feelings
And I detest what I have done.
What’s left of me
Is your shadow
Creeping my every move
My every breath
Stands for you
And I have to go further
Further
Until your image fades
But my thoughts I can’t compete
I have to destroy myself,
Before it destroys me.

note: poem was written in May 31, 2001. illo was made today.
strange that after reading thru my old poems, i realized that part of me was still being haunted by my past..
it's just a case of not being affected by it negatively, and instead, learn from it.

benconservato, carla.. thanks! those are indeed the current mood of both illo and poem during the time they were created.

gee a ghost from the past indeed.. suddenly somebody seemed to have deleted my testimonials at friendster.. hmm.. and i just saw a distant relative of whom i wrote the poem for trying to view me.. good thing i have it blocked. or is it? anyway.. blah! i juz need to let it out. they think they can outsmart me eh? let's see..
hey! beautiful job...
thank you for your visit ;-)
Deep and dark times I think when you put those words to pen, you did sound haunted. The illustration is beautiful-full of smothering shawdows and vibrant emotion-great ghost!
great illo indeed! and your poem goes deep. good thing to look at it positively as a learning experience. always good to move on!
it's so beautiful and scaring image!
How do you create it?
This carries a lot of impact. It's both ominous and interesting. Great illo!
bruno diel.. thanks for droppin by too..
hardwax, belinda.. indeed.. if one could erase a memory from the past id have that time on the list. but since we cant, might as well learn from it instead.
grorg.. thanks. to be honest, i made it on MS Paint. as well as most of my illos. and converted it as gif to preserve the spray-like quality.
aravis.. ohh didnt see your comment. (slow pc) btw, thanks! glad you like it.
