In pursuit of something under the shaded light,
she scrawls with her pencil desperately trying to revive phantom pages

Each word haunting her in its painful beauty,
yet, slowly slipping away from her burning fingers

Then, becoming motionless, over the interminable night
she falls into a deep, deep, sleep, and dreams...

Dreams of her precious dead,
the dead she loves more than you...

...just bein' Bluesy

You wrote of forever lasting love. It is so real. I relate. Although she has been deceased for many years I still visit my first wife.

Love and respect for those who have passed before us is a good thing, Jerry.
Many say; "Let go! Let go!" But there's no reason to 'let go' of what's in our hearts.

It's not about obsessions...it's about love.

Thanks much for your comment.
