Excellence Award in the 'Horizon of Dreams 2018' competition

Knuckles whiten,
Heart beats sprint,
Breath quickens,
Dark side of moonlight,
Howling bitterness of emptiness,
Sad and lost spirits,
Ebony darkness,
Jealous mournings,
Unholy torture,
Beauty of pain,
Falling like ashes,
A phoenix,
SCREECH…
Not just a ghost.
