Here in the relentless dead of night, they struggle eternally
to a repeated performance of the heart's cry within spirits.
Mere faded memories of tenderness that haunt fallen lovers.
Embracing with no touch, kissing and yet no caress.

Lover's sighs meshed with no definition into sleepless breath
with a repeating of voices speaking and saying nothing.
Hear the silence of the sleeping victims futilely pouring out,
for all that was grievously lost is now conjured forth.

They are but vague whispers on the howling, accusing wind.
Becoming blended silhouettes against the dim ash smeared sky.
Grasping vainly to long ago lost desires of a moment passed,
being tossed on the lonely breeze with great casual disregard.

Their ghostly escense, with the rolling of all life's continual tide,
project meaninglessly and fragile on the scrolls of eternity.
Desperate and pathetic souls imprinted on invisible twinklings,
are but echoes fading in and out to the capturing of time.

Beautiful hon!!!!! But I hope personally I shall be more than a mere echo!!! I want to be a voice that is heard, appreciated and remembered.
I need to believe we are more than you described...
But again this is darkly beautiful with wonderous imagery

Thank you Isis.
Yes, I believe we are more than mere echoes.
This is simply only imagination. Most be a throw back
from my Poe days. Although, for those who do not know
God...perhaps this is their fate?
