reaching

night’s quiet

  and your ghost haunts

  my veins

 

like lives unlived

  we were hearts

  unloved

together lost

 

in waking moments

we remained

unsolved

united in our resolve

to

just

not

feel

 

can you not feel

with me

again

 

because i’m here (again)

this time

lost

alone

not still

    unable

    to accept the depth

of my own breath

 

i watch the lights

pretend not to see

your shadow

flicker fight

and dance with the dreams

that still wake me

thinking of

you

That still wake me thinking of you... how is it that I know too well this feeling? Superb flow to this one, and a heartfelt plea to an unforgotten past. This makes me think of honesty and the idea that life is too short not to live and love without boundaries. Thresholds are meant to be crossed and even closed doors can be re-opened. But there I go projecting my own feelings onto your work again, I've done this to two people tonight. Lol So, I shall leave off with... well done!

"can you not feel with me again"

wow...you are good...like two souls who got together, but both unable to let go of feelings because of the past...the past casts such a dark shadow on the present..

another really strong write.

Sometimes two on the moon shall dance the memories of time, lost...
And alone, maybe, alone, but together alone ~
Who is alone? when there is always someone who listens?
A dark shadow, can't exist, when there is memory of light...
Conveyed in true excellent serene perfection this poem, "is".

wow, gorgeous, CM... I love the spacing, it reaches deep in and then pauses until it stays... and makes me feel...sad, thinking of my own ghosts... though you are not feeling, or wanting not to feel... what can I say? this has presence...
