    A creepy cemetery stroll.

    Surrounded by tombstones and monuments, my co-worker and I trudged through the cemetery in six inches of fresh snow. She walked a hundred feet ahead of us. We'd never seen her before. She wore black: Black hat, black boots, black gloves,including...

    • Spooky, Tim.
      I do like this a lot. Reminds me of a song by Joan Baez called “Long Black Veil”–I imagine you can find it online.
      You give us the setting, providing atmosphere with your description.

    • I’ve heard the song in the past. It’s a good one and I believe it’s been covered by many others. Thanks for the comment, J. 🙂

    • I do love the ambience of graveyards Tim. A haunting tale which sent a little shiver up my spine. I also know the song Jacob refers to by Joan Baez. I am a huge fan of hers.

    • Thank you. Struggling with navigating, but will take it slowly.

    • Hauntingly penned, Tim. Amazing storytelling my friend. Incredible write. Appreciate you.

    • This is a great and chilling story. The buildup is perfect, from the quiet snow to the sudden disappearance, and the detail of the hat on the monument is a fantastic touch.

      I may not know Eva Longstreet, but in life and now in death, she sure knows how to make an entrance and leave an impression.

      Great write Tim

    • Yes cemetery loved it (your poem ) but not necessarily the place !
      I’m not afraid of ghosts I know they exist. I feel they can’t hurt us

      Loved your descriptives of the mentioned Eva. Felt romantic almost! And I wonder if she was meeting her lover or someone a bit cold for a romp in the snow ⛄️

      Loved the write

      • Ha-ha Who knows what ghosts think when they’re roaming around Julie. Thanks so much for the comment. 🙂

    • Chilling words. There is excitement at the fear the graveyard evokes.

      Regards James

    • Hi Tim!

      We have a back building at work that is right beside a graveyard. There are always internet issues down there!
      We all believe it must be due to spiritual activity.
      But it sucks when the internet drops and you haven’t saved the file yet! Grrr

      This write is perfect for the season. Makes me want to try a ghost tour. lol

      • Thanks so much for the comment, Adel. And good luck on that tour. Perhaps you’ll run into a ghost or two. :0

    A World Without Her

    A million times I've shed my tearsThough still her touch I miss.Without her death, we could have livedUnbridled in our bliss. Our future lives were seized by grief,I'm hostage now to pain.That jocund voice no longer sings,My pleas, I cry...

    • I felt this. I am sure she is there waiting.

    • Powerfully penned, Tim. Grabbed me by my heartstrings my friend. Appreciate you.

    • This is a tender and heartbreaking piece.

      The rhythm and rhyme carry the weight of grief so gracefully, and the final stanza is especially powerful. offers such a moving sense of hope and reunion – it’s both sorrowful and comforting at the same time.

    • It does sound like a town that has been forgotten. You described it well, so sad.

    • I lived there for 17 years. But had to move, the police moved out and glitches moved in. They set up tents and overtook the place.
      j.

      • I don’t know whether to laugh or sigh at your comment. It was such a great place at one time. Let’s hope this site is a new and better beginning for most of us from Cafe Town. 🙂 Thanks J.

    • Powerfully penned, Tim. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • I can see this being read at a podium. I feel the convictions in your words.

    • I hate what is happening with the Epstein case and the lack of respect for the victims…and all the covering up and protecting of those who committed such evil deeds.
      There is no conscience, no conscience. Cold, rich people.
      j.

      • What’s happening with the Epstein case is literally showing us that we have no power to fight back…according to them. They silence or eliminate what threatens them. Which – honestly – showcases their fragility perfectly. I’m over here screaming my head off about my truth & healing despite them. They can’t stop me. Cowardly monsters. Thank you

    • Powerful and poignant. Fantastic.

    • The world is strange these days. I don’t understand some of these people, but honestly it’s a good thing. It means I haven’t sold my values.

      I trust one day we will have our strength shown again.

      Great ink friend.

      • I agree. Not understanding them comforts me. I’ll keep my vulnerability & integrity intact & I’m just fine not understanding how their twisted minds work.

        I read something the other day that gave me a moment of peace & hope. Loosely translated it said…light has the power to illuminate in darkness, but dark cannot look into light, it cannot bear it’s glow. I find that very calming. I’ll just keep my little fire burning & let them cower in their dark minds. Thank you, my friend

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Excellent work my friend, you always bring it. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • I have so much going on in my mind on any given day, I have to clear headspace. They don’t always go where I expect them to land. This one started in a dark moment. But I found myself rebelling internally as I wrote & the tone changed. Together is always stronger. Thank you, my friend

    • Sometimes the question we ask ourself is are we damaged or is the world damage. We love the piece Lady, tight

      • I don’t think any single person who encounters another human being isn’t walking wounded. We all walk around bleeding and causing each other further damage. I believe you might be on to something there. Maybe the world is damage. Disheartening that the biggest common denominator amongst us is pain…
