Your Voice Caresses My Name

like a ghost dances to the beat of a heart that's been broken............

A cold wind blows into my soul
as a ghost dances
to the beat of a heart that's been broken
by the promise of words.
Until, there is no more time left to ache
for what has not fallen
from the air you breathe
to be seen or heard.

Your silence speaks inside of me,
calling out to be tears
selfishly chaining this cold wind
inside of my soul,
to remain.
All that I love has been painted
by the promise.................
of your words,
and the sweetest sound I know
is your voice
caressing my name.

Where Neva do you find these excellent pictures to go with your poems. I love it. It adds life and more beauty to your poems. But I love this poem as well. Yes, I also find that the last few lines are my favorite. You always bring the poem together beautifully. Another beautiful write.

Haunting and beautiful words in the poem. Sometime need a Ghost dance to free the heart and soul of dead weight and pain.
"and the sweetest sound I know
is your voice
caressing my name."
