Your Ghost Is Still Here

Your ghost is still here
my soul yearns for you near
traces of you remain
my mind longing in vain
your image lingers unclear
I want your body and voice here
to snuggle in bed
and hear jokes said
to be together again
to find a grin
my soul yearns for you near
your ghost is still here
come, walk in through the door
and my soul will smile and cry no more.

Author's Note

Absence can make the heart long.

Reviews

[Rose of Gondor]

I was just listening to My Immortal by Evanescence when I came upon this poem. And I cried. So beautiful and true but SO sad!!! During their absence, loved ones can be haunting and yet you never want them to leave...

[Black Cat Fever]

Longing for the one you love. Their absence hurts. But when they return, oh so sweet! Nicely done.

[Tina Kline]

Such longer only makes the coming home part all that much more sweeter. Lovely and heartfelt poem Ghost.

[Susie Q]

A lovely tribute to someone gone but never forgotten. Deep love haunts the soul and creates a place in our heart to keep them ever near. Thanks for sharing!

How sad. I hope she comes through the door real soon. Nicely done poem.

[Coyote Poetry]

A sad poem. When the quiet of the night is upon us. We think of the missed people. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
