A step, a creak upon a stair
as darkness walks the halls of blue.
In want of what might be waiting there..
In want of a poetess of blue...

This Phantom treads the hallowed halls.
A shadow sleek that follows the walls.
A voice of whisper within your dreams...
A water’s fall upon crystalline streams...

Where might a dream be waiting to feel,
to grasp and hold this Phantom surreal?
Where might a sigh be waiting to escape
moist lips before those wrists he tapes...

A lighted room, might that be the place
where a phantom finds a pretty face?
A shower’s call sounding the way
where one might find such a display...

His step so sure, so long and slick
as each does fall without a click.
His eyes that peer into their own
as each does wait beside their phone...

Which room, which name, which feathered pen
shall he decide to find...to win...??
This phantom dark of these pages blue...
Might it be her....or might it be you???

(sigh) I'd say we have the phantom in all of us, but yours is never elusive as many of ours still await the courage to paint the walls! (big hugggssssss) This is eerie yet wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

WEll, since blue is my favorite color, s/he can't be all bad! Phantasy and phantasm phills this piece. Enjoyed the read, even if I'm half asleep. Now, to just keep that sleep going all night.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

OOOH Barry, this had an eeirie feeling. I've got to go
make sure the doors are locked. Or maybe shut down my computer
before the "phantom dark of these pages blue" comes out of it.
