Ghost of You

I can feel you
at the back of my mind
Your breath sending ripples
of remembered joy
and sadness love indescribable
and pain, yes the pain
I thought I got rid of you
yet you're there
waiting for my eyes to close
so you can appear in front of me
with that wicked smile
your charm, my weakness
I remember the scars
on your face
growing red as you sip
your drink
and I thought
I could kiss the pain away
heal you in these arms
opened wide to embrace
the hurts and burdens
you carry
But I was wrong blinded I was
with your sweetness
Now I hurt as the illusion falls
I was broken
damaged by false hopes
the lies repeating
like a broken record
reverberating chastising me
for believing too quickly
because there was nothing
not even from the start
And so I shelved my dreams
erased what I could
images and words
that connect me to you
yet a ghost of you remains
living in my darkness
fingers trailing
a path so familiar
to the heart once laid down
exposed to your whims
shuddering as memories
push their way to the surface
only to fade like you

Something won't let go

There is something about you
I cant forget
Something about you
That wont let go
Though  I dont know you
Though we just met
There is something about you
I need to know
The way you use those words
A look in your eye
The way you move
The sound of your smile and sigh
There is something about you
That haunts my dream
There is something about you
That echoes in me ...!!!

ALONE

I’ve listened: and all the sounds I heard Were music,—wind, and stream, and bird. With youth who sang from hill to hill I’ve listened: my heart is hungry still. I’ve looked: the morning world was green; Bright roofs and towers of town I’ve seen; And stars, wheeling through wingless night. I’ve looked: and my soul yet longs for light. I’ve thought: but in my sense survives Only the impulse of those lives That were my making. Hear me say ‘I’ve thought!’—and darkness hides my day.
