the ghost of love
stood at my back
beckoning
     beckoning,
"fall into me..."

i turned to accept him
     to embrace his warmth
only a second too late
and he vanished...
leaving me
in a lonely space
where the cold rushed in
slinking around my feet
up my legs
     my back
settling on the back of my neck--
     how could i shake it...

remembering now
the ghost of love
having whispered in my ear
     encircled me
     in near ecstacy
i could feel love
but it never touched me...

i know you were there
it could only have been
     you
your soul having left you
     only momentarily
to meet with mine...

i wonder--
     did our souls
          touch...

To answer the question,
I would say yes, indeed,
the souls touched...

otherwise, would you have
felt anything?

Very good...thank you!

souls that touch never part sweets.
And souls are not constrained by time like us, a moment could be an eternity, so I imagine there was a lot of touching going on. I have a really good imagination, believe me.

Oh, and I really loved this write.

You've outdone yourself this time, sweet poet. This is great!
"i know you were there

you

only momentarily
to meet with mine..."
Wow.

Oh I felt this, every word so deep inside.  It applies to me, personally, I know this feeling and it is just not a very pleasant one.  The poem is exquisite.
