Ill-timed leaves crumble beneath my feet <br />The warm breeze tickling my bare back <br />I feel you there enveloping my vacant core <br />Lost am I since your untimely passing <br />I am left to love your immortal ghost <br /> <br />Wishing gentle touch still lingered there <br />Once calming my trembling soul <br />Bottomless blue eyes and kind spirited smile <br />Still impressing upon my embittered heart <br />My ghost still beautiful and loving me <br /> <br />Sitting on the edge of insanity I see you there <br />Clouding my dreams of what is real and not <br />Unbearable hurt sneaking up to conquer me <br />Past slipping beneath me as I try to hold on <br />Piercing my spirit is loss to another world <br /> <br />Trying hard to seize your soothing words <br />Long ago spoken softly in my ear <br />Spiraling without direction I need them now <br />Fires ablaze within the deep chasm engulf me <br />You are out of reach no longer my savior <br /> <br />Dark and perilous are my poisoned secrets <br />Held close and tightly to your warm chest <br />Promises of never abandoning broken <br />Early to the grave you fell carrying my pain <br />Our shattered pieces falling to the earth <br /> <br />My ghost he eludes me as I reach for him <br />Touch of his hand is wind blowing through <br />Voice grows fainter as brutal days pass <br />How I long to be one with him in his world <br />This love is killing me <br /> <br /> <br />http: //allpoetry.com/poem/4549577<br /><br />Kim Schilling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-ghost-2/
