Phantasm-1

I am the only shadow who can murder fugitives, I am the Phantasm.

Perforated the wall of Hoax, I saw
You are someone different behind
As much as the distance measures—you are not near at all
I got away
Now I know the Truth.
 
The hoax wall was stayed perforated
You discovered me behind– I am another
Chasing after you, a Phantasm
You know the same truth.
 
Hoax wall vanished
Gun barrel on my forehead
You shall not forgive
Phantasm can never be fugitive.
 
At the stalemate point, with a distorted smile
My silence call you—
 
‘I don’t want you see iced in gauche
I don’t want you lost in avalanche
I don’t want your mask of hoax
Is this a fault to love a ghost? ‘

(2009)

There are two characters always against of each other. They could be oppressor and victim, winner and loser, predator and prey, capitalist and pauper, as a whole Phantasm and Fugitive. One haunts, other flees; one threats, other play tricks. Both wants to dominate but they have their own rules.
