                  Another Face

I can look in the mirror,
and see my reflection of one.
But somewhere in the shadow,
he's always there
A haunting beauty
casting whispers in the air.

He's not of my own creation,
I don't even know his name
he sings to me in the darkness
His voice familiar, the same.

Did he come to me
in another time
Another life
that used to be mine.
Was he a Knight,
and I a Lady
in a different place?
Or is he someone I know
with another face.

Were we secret lovers
in a forbidden world of pain
Does the mystery stir a memory
of a mistress never tamed?

Is he a legend in my dreams,
with a touch I've always known?
Am I caught in De'Je'Vu
is he a ghost...
...or is he you?

What a lovely picture you paint of your hidden yearnings!  Keep it up.  The dog that trots around finds the bone.
