Reflections and Shadows

Ghost

I saw my heart's ghost today.

It was a beautiful Phantom.

I ran, but my steps It knew.

Unprepared and off balanced,

It caught me.

Passion was It's face,

my dreams It's voice.

It reached inside me for memories,

but grasped only dry tears.

With a gentle nudge It moved me,

but I almost crumbled.

I implored It to leave,

because It's presence was vexing.

Lamenting It left,

but not more than I.

I saw my heart's ghost today.

It was beautiful...
