Risen From The Dead

Risen From The Dead

A Poem by mjsalyers
"

When something you want so badly comes to an end and we grieve for what seems eternity, This is the precious solitary moment of realizing you no longer want or need it.

"

Walk in my wake as in your dreams

We both know that we're on opposing sides

And life is no better as the cold night burns away

But the ghost of an old love goes away ....

    I seem to be stalking some shadows from my past

   With a light to drive them from my memory

   Because , now they enrage me and there's nowhere to escape

   As the past steals my last cold breath away .....

I'm haunted by the phantoms as they invade my dreams

And they seem to be relentless anymore

Now dreams just possess me till they're all I can take

And the stale winds of the dead come close the door ....


   Now as I waken , my life fades like the dream

   As I find the strength to pull myself from bed

   And I laugh for a moment as the tears leave my eyes

    As I realize , I have risen from the dead .....
