She's a ghost.
She writes in raindrops and tears.
She writes to the sun
before it dries
her away.

She's a ghost,
and I write back.
She will not seal
the waxy seams.

She's a ghost,
her words float like incense
burned too long -- the smallest
scorch. The slightest
thing went wrong.

She's a ghost,
a reflection in a clock,
so I spend hours staring
at her hands.

I can't look into her mouth,
the bay or the breeze.
Her face is ribbons and snow
and sand.

a ghost?
maybe,
but you've captured her
on the lens,
paranormal one

Thanks, brian.
I was simply looking at some poetry of a PIPfriend today,
and wondered why she had to leave
(though ...
I do know why)

BSquirrel~
This is quite hauntingly lovely~
How thoughtful that you would *gift* it in the absence of a departed PiP poetess~
Hope she gets to see it~

Sounds a little sad as well but I enjoyed

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?

*long hug* Baby, I wish things could be different. Wish life wouldn't give us issues to talk to psychiatrists about or occurences to write sad poems about.

your tongue's like poison
so swollen it fills up my mouth

I usually read your poems twice. The first time is to try and understand them, the second time is for pure enjoyment.
