“GHOST SHADOWS”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
Searched the deepest recesses,
of memory filled with thoughts…
Shadows lurking in there I see,
muddled into each other, as knots…

Dim is the light, fog is what I see,
clouds on the prowl, for a lost soul…
Something I seek, yet can’t find,
lurking in the mist, out of control…

Possibly a dream, I don’t know,
visions to see, or to dismiss…
My eyes wide, seeking an answer,
maybe it would be, your kiss…

I look into emptiness, for I must,
not knowing who, or what I’ll find…
Wanting it to be you, no other,
ghost shadows perhaps, in my mind…

Bill this is utterly outstanding

Darling boy this is truly fabulous, you have a way of looking inside a soul and revealing dreams

Absolutely Fantastic

Long may you write the soul

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

ghost shadows perhaps, in my mind…

*sigh* I am sure it will be the one your heart desires. This weaving is so romantic with your pen flowing dreams and visions. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Oh Bill...I really enjoyed the entire piece, but the stanza above is my favourite, I think.  I will read it again and then maybe have a change of heart, but, then again, maybe not....Oh dear...No, I love the entire poem!
~Hugs, Nancy~
