phantasmagoria

straining again the fade away
but whatever reason for?
transparent to the oblivion already
a silent walking phantasmagoria
but raspy ghast my hollow voice
left to knockers 'twixt walls tapping
aimless wander alone

    One of my all-time favorite words, probably after my contact with The Damned album of the same title.

      I really grew to love the word after reading the poem by Lewis Carroll, but I recall when the Damned album came out and I thought it was a sweet word to add to my Universal monsters- and Hammer-inspired collection of words that I collected.
