This is not
a world you want to enter
too many ghosts
still walk through doors
uninvited
steal my blanket
leave me shivering
this is not
a world you want to enter
please
take me literally

Do you speak the truth? Or is this in the spirit of Halloween? =P

How appropriate, ghosts on halloween, tell her to give back that blanket!!..need a good excorcist? (just trying to make you smile a little... I know, not easy right now). Seriously though, there are always shadows of ghosts in our lives and they do show up at the most inopportune moments, don't they? That's when we need our friends to lend their shoulders for support and understanding. I know where there's a pair of shoulders going spare if you want to borrow them  

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Duncan- is a cold world out there, but we need to keep that electric blanket no matter what. We make our own choices, regarding how "cold" we are willing to get. Yet love hurts so good. Great poem.

OOPs should I tread carefully here? Backing out while tossing you another blanket. Wonderful poem.  

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

steal my blanket

Sounds like you know the trials of being married. Touch you freezing feet to a warm backside.  It gets the blanket back every time*S*

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.

Go on, invite me
I shall enter unafraid
your past will not scare me,
only mine does...



I love the "ponder" of this poem...

the greater the risk, the more inticing the ploy...
very good.

Look into the eyes of a man and
you will find the soul of the woman
who loves him...

You mean I don't have a ghost of a chance? Drats!
OK, Duncan. Halloween is over, time for the ghosts to back off, it's almost time for Thankful Day. And who knows? maybe Santa will bring you a special present this year, to start New Year's off with fresh smiles.
(Is this sounding disgustingly cheerful, when maybe all you want is to wrap yourself in a warm blankie?) Here is a warm hug.

Just popped my head in the door to see if you're okay.  I had to open the door, not walk through it.  Gee...smile Duncan...got me scared..I don't like ghost stories.
~hugs, Nancy~

So that you won't ever forget me.~

I understand the feeling of uninvited ghosts. I really enjoyed this poem.

Love has many masks. I am but one of them.
