My Ghost

Missing image
Ill-timed leaves crumble beneath my feet.
The warm breeze tickling my bare back.
I feel you there enveloping my vacant core.
Lost am I since your untimely passing.
I am left to love your immortal ghost.

Wishing gentle touch still lingered there,
Once calming my trembling soul.
Bottomless blue eyes and kind spirited smile,
Still impressing upon my embittered heart.
My ghost still beautiful and loving me.

Sitting on the edge of insanity I see you there,
Clouding my dreams of what is real and not.
Unbearable hurt sneaking up to conquer me.
Past slipping beneath me as I try to hold on.
Piercing my spirit is lost to another world.

Trying hard to seize your soothing words,
Long ago spoken softly in my ear.
Spiraling without direction I need them now.
Fires ablaze within the deep chasm engulf me.
You are out of reach no longer my savior.

Dark and perilous are my poisoned secrets.
Held close and tightly to your warm chest.
Promises of never abandoning broken.
Early to the grave you fell carrying my pain,
Our shattered pieces falling to the earth.

My ghost he eludes me as I reach for him.
Touch of his hand is wind blowing through.
Voice grows fainter as brutal days pass.
How I long to be one with him in his world.
This love is killing me.

  • This was a harsh slap in the face, something very close and painful. Everyone has their own ghost I suppose and not all of them are nice and treat us well.

    Thank you for entering

    Hey my name is Nelena and I am your contest co-host.

    Wow I am so very sorry for this pain. Is this true? If so...it seems so horrible to feel this way...unable to let go. And when the apparation disappears you are left with even more hurt then before, at being so close and then having them fade away. Beautifully penned, and wonderful wording.

    Sad and beautiful wrapped in one. Love of an immortal ghost, this was a somewhat differnt view than i had in mind for my contest. But i love how different things can be interpreted differently, different artist penning things so differently and yet saying similar things. The power of poems

    thank you so much for entering and good luck

    Aw...

    I'm so sorry. My friend went though with that too, only he didn't know until after her death that she had a disease. Anyway, the poem, you hit the nail. Outstanding, breath taking work. good work

    This is so sad my sister. Filled with lost of a love that only comes around once for many people.

    I hope you have found that kind of love in your life again.

    "My ghost he eludes me as I reach for him"
    "Touch of his hand is wind blowing through"

    These words made me want to cry and I don't cry easily.

    good luck in this contest
