Prompted, after a fashion, by lotharingia's "Stratagem" two ghosts were born of a summer saddened by their separation quarantined among millions feeling the burning isolation detachment each searched ever for the other looking into eyes sometimes too deeply always turning away-- hurt alone discomfited desolation reached a peak the grounded souls' surrender to fear sent waves of hated despondent terror of remaining lost, lost utterly two ghosts found each other of a spring hesitant, so bruised, realization dawning do you know? do you know? the possibility too much to hope for heartrending staggered by fervor and passion mingled with tumultous forfeit desperately reaching for that day they lived in flux, together, apart, love, pain faltering till wakening one day remembering purpose, fact, reason, resolution the passage of centuries not to be denied being flung into one lifetime transient perfecting the happy charade gracefully avoiding bitterness for the difficulty, the subtly enforced separation wrought by the time, by society superficial winter came within, without Yule wine, Julian year fading earth softly sobbing snow for their going quietly, one then another, softly passing two ghosts joined each other of a second finally a love that time lay down for twining, woven, wrapped around your deepest joy cannot match their kiss forever forever |

What a beautiful, serene poem, Portia. I am in love with your writing! And extremely flattered that you were sparked by Stratagem.  Especially since I wrote a poem inspired by your Muse piece after I had read it. I haven’t posted it yet, though. Lotharingia "Dreams are life, reality, creation" Miguel de Unanumo |

I had never considered ghosts quite that way. Lovely poem. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |
