Circus Ghosts

One for the money, two for the dough,

The seats are all filled. It’s time for the show.

Skeletons in the closet,

Ghosts dance in my head,

Thoughts of all the words,

I’ve written and they’ve read.

Haunted lyrics,

Haunted lines,

Haunted thoughts,

Haunted Rhymes

Haunted house,

Haunted rooms,

Haunted halls,

Haunted tombs

Diving deep,

Digging bones,

Dusting off,

My reclaimed throne.

Queen of Swords,

Ace of Spades,

At the crossroads,

Deals were made.

Fear the reaper,

Fear the crows,

Fear the girl,

The one that knows.

Hidden truth,

Hidden faces,

She knows the masks,

She has the aces.

Baskerville Hound,

Mask of Red Death,

Words return haunted,

Gasping for Breath.

Rebel rules,

Rebel cause,

Rewriting rules,

All that was.

Switching lanes,

Hitting switches,

Fear no man,

Trust no bitches

Words of others,

Ghosts of kin,

Spirits wander,

Karma’s spin

Spin the block, now see the truth

Crystal clear and bullet proof,

Hidden things, not anymore,

Missing bodies, float to shore.

Circus music, circus ghosts

Lion’s roar, cue the host

Untamed tiger, fire red,

Haunted lines, dance in your head.
