Make a wish quickly
Before the spirits decide
To tear you apart

Where I rest and relax with ghosts
Around here we have a code
To keep our friendly spirits close

The ghosts run free in the house
But the ghosts never attack
And rarely do they shout
Can I surrender?
Or will I keep fighting egos?
Drink from the poison chalice?
Where is utter peace?
Forget the journey to enlightenment –
Surrender to base desires;
Flesh is more potent than spirit,
Holy Spirits eat my flesh
In inordinate, passionate fires –
The Mind of Christ bursts
With vicious images
The ghost in our house
Tortured spirit roams here
In a long white dress
Yearning to be free and out
Of her purgatory life
