Obstinate lone ghost,
messenger during long
silent hours of the night,
in stillness it brings hope,
tears; breathless kisses.
Like an incommunicable
dream, evening phantasm
suspended, unheard
murmurs in the air, gone
from the untimely tomb;
moldering bones wasting
in the wilderness beneath
the earth.
Weeping in everlasting
sleep, singing passionate
notes of love, fate, a vision
locked away thirsting for lips,
lovely, sacred; now alienated
lured to the living daring to
breathe in the secrets of being;
searching for life.
