Ghost

You're here.

You're there.

Everywhere.

I can't run.

I can't hide.

You surround me in the morning.

Sometimes you wake me up.

At night I can feel you holding me with all your might.

You're coursing through my veins.

Taking shelter in my mind.

It is burning.

We're set on fire.

So close yet so far.

I hate this.

No.

I love this.

You are my ghost.

Time does not stop.

It will never sleep.

Tick. Tick. Tick!

We need to meet.

I have nowhere left to turn.

Not into the woods, nor up in the sky.

You're here to stay.

I can sense you thinking of me throughout the days.

 this is a beautiful ache.

A never-ending haunt.

It's simple.

I adore you.

Insane but true.

 

 

 

In the meantime

I'd like to be your ghost too.

I think this is a beautiful poem. The 'always there' feeling is very well conveyed as is the sixth sense of the 'knowing' they are there.
I really liked this -
"In the meantime
I'd like to be your ghost too. " - such a sweet ending. It really adds the playful cherry on top to this romantic piece

WE all have ghosts from the past, some we would never want to see again. Kathie

haha yeah. You can say that again! This was about that guy I went to see in Ireland..I wrote a lot about him before I went to see it..and going back and reading it kind of breaks my heart.but hey! At least he got me to write right? :) Thanks for the review V.

Wow! This is such a beautiful poem, Kathryn!
Its like a song for the soul. For meeting with your soul itself or the soul mate, ofcourse.
Loved the beauty of your profound words, I felt like someone whispered them directly into my ears to give me goosebumps.
You are very talented!
Kudos!!

I enjoyed the poem. The title was trickery. I like the use of thoughts making the word have purpose and reason. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I know what this is like, always feeling like that someone is there, all the time... we sometimes fall in love, or admire, someone we barely know, except through words or from a distance, and something about them consumes us; they become ghosts, always present... they permeate our thoughts and dreams; the feeling is so strong sometimes we can feel them next to us... and, we hope they see us in the same way... i love this concept...well-penned

[Kathryn Smith]

I'm glad you understand! For a while I thought I might be going mad or something! Thanks for the review!

oh, you are definitely not alone here, Kathryn... you are welcome!

I love how this write jumped at me and held me throughout the entire read.
Insane but true =D

[Kathryn Smith]

Thank you! :D I am going to send it to someone and I wanted to get others opinions on it beforehand! :) I think it's a go! Thanks again.

I may be totally off base but it seems to me 'the ghost' is the memory of a past love, haunting you with all of the feelings of what might have been, if only.....and that answer is so elusive, you sit and wonder what happened to make the love falter, and hope against hope that the 'other one' feels the same way, is haunted by that puzzling memory also. A beautiful write, Kathryn. take care...dan

[wordman]

This is fabulous. Whether the relationship is beginning or ending, the ghosts of our overs hover, infect and take up space in our souls.

[Kathryn Smith]

[Jennesis]

Hmmm. I will try to add you~
