Ghost
by Lyle Berry (Age: 61)
copyright 05-28-2002


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
I am a ghost
Haunting a life with you
Peeking at your world
From my shadows

I am ethereal
A visitor in your realm
Even when with you
I am not there

I am invisible
When I hold you
I feel myself sublimating
From solid to vapor

I am a lost soul
Wandering a Purgatory
Banished from living with you
By your apathy

I am a Banshee
No longer wailing
Though the emptiness
Is glass shards in my guts

I am a spirit
Agonizing to be reborn
A wooden puppet
Praying to be a real boy

I am a ghost
I have no substance
I am not part of the fabric
Of your existence

I like this, Lyle. :) I get a great feeling.

Lyle,
The deepest flush of feelings can never be expressed to "far" in verse. This is an intense and effectively haunting poem. Great read.

AW, this is sad, I can feel your pain, Wish
you could have all you need.
05-28-2002 Lyle Berry    

Perhaps I went too far with symbolism and imagery in this one. This poem is about a guy (me) who needs a complete relationship with his loved one and cannot stand for it to be merely a protracted long distance affair. His loved one loves him (in her way) but does not care enough to make sacrifices that might be necessary to always keep him near. Thus he feels his relationship is almost surreal, like he's a ghost watching from the other side.

Co-ool! Love the sense of something hovering...
