Sleeping beauty lays eternal <br />My friend the ghost forever now <br />You chose to slip beyond the veil <br />In search of peace and peace you found <br /> <br />You quickly jumped outside the frame <br />into a world just out of sight <br />Though I still see you in the day <br />and in the blackened room at night <br /> <br />My eyes they failed to see the dark <br />A loss of sight, my vision blind <br />So very fragile was your soul <br />And deeply troubled was your mind <br /> <br />Dear friend take pity on me <br />For I did not hear your tears <br />Though they rained on my pillow <br />so many nights, spelling out your fears. <br /> <br />So let us dance between these plains <br />Connecting stronger than before <br />And through the barriers unite <br />All worldly laws and rules ignored <br /> <br />Lets step inside each others souls <br />Wherein translation speaks in code <br />Breathe into me and I to you <br />A voice so deep it forms an ode <br /> <br />Please take me closer to this place <br />For on my own I don’t know how <br />Show me a way to bring you near <br />My friend the ghost forever now <br /> <br />To my dearest friend Emily <br />22nd Feb ‘08<br /><br />Alison Mary Dunn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-friend-the-ghost/
