In every gesture and face,
there is a reference to the past,
interconnections with the lost space.
I wonder where existence lies
and where the entrance is.
The old life still wants to live,
while the new life awaits.
A devilish grip emerges
from the shadows behind the thick curtains.
The blood and tears splashed on me
causing anxiety to grip my muscles tightly.
It demands its rights while taking away mine.
So, I must remove the layers that have grown on me
like tree leaves,
depriving me of sleep at the right time.
Only then can I fully relax
and recover from the decades-long
haunting bad dream.

Ghostly Happenings in Colorado
Disturbed Spirits In Denver, an expanse of greenery, Cheesman Park comes with a macabre history since it was once a burial ground known as Mount Prospect Cemetery established by General William Larimer in 1858. The job of exhuming bodies began, and some were left behind resting beneath the park. However, the ghostly spirits don’t wish to rest in peace beneath the park, and visitors here have felt cold touches, seen ghostly children playing at night, and heard a singing lady who disappears when approached.
