    Poem Commentary

    This is the third entry in my assassin/hunter/mercenary set of poems. It was a fun piece to write.

    Phantom

     Those who seek will not find me -
    None live to recall my face.
    I can blend with any crowd
    And not seem out of place.

    I am a ghost among men,
    A shadow in the night -
    The right hand of Death,
    I remain out of sight.

    I am the whisper in the wind,
    The chill up your spine;
    By the time you notice me
    Your life will already be mine.

    Unrighteous ones be wary
    For thy wrongs of the past
    I will rectify with my blade, and
    Make your next breath your last!

    Thanks for the comment!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
