In my every thought, of you I’m aware Trailing after me with your long dark hair I call out to peace from the still of despair The answer is silence, there is nobody there
Through the quiet and deep you possess the night I Chant Mantras of Sanskrit in a plea to the light To be held by love, tender and tight For hope to be lit, gentle and bright
You whisper from dusk till the breath of the day I beg you to leave but you always do stay Your spectre dances as the shadows come play You never rest so my fears can allay
You undid your suitcase upon my floor You wear carpet slippers and have your own draw With bony finger you point out each flaw You empty my heart then come back for more
As I rub my eyes to dispel the dark By soul blends obliquely into stark

About this poem:
Adapted from my poems 'Soft foot treads of my Soul 2009.
Hi, caroljoyce, Through the melancholy, there is beauty in the way you capture the depth of feelings that lingers after loss as the soul blends obliquely into stark.
oh CJ, that is indeed to sad... ;-( it however does bear your distinctive style and grace. Perhaps you could tell the unrequited guest of unwelcome dismay that checkout time is coming...soon. ;-}

Hi Carol, While your poem is sad and poignant. I'm so happy to see you back on here writing again.
welcome her in and give her some tea then sit her gently on your knee tell her of your future like so then tell her gently she must go.
Your future beckons and 'sad' has only a perch just outside your window to peek in from. She will have no place in the rest of your life. I think you are just getting ready to say goodbye to sad.
