Letter to a Ghost

It has been almost a week
without his smile to move me
without his hands to touch me
feels like forever
my world shrinks and trembles
I fight the tears that threaten
and so I continue to fall
stormy days bring no hope
is the rain following me?
Maybe I am the storm
I feel more dilapidated by the minute
there is danger on this ledge
so where is my apparition?
Can you please come back to my side?
You are a joy to my heart and mind
I need your presence even if only I may see
guide me back to the sentient blue rose
give comfort to my lonely conscious
surround me in your protection
so sad that I never knew you in life
you radiate beauty and kindness
sending warmth into my veins
help me through my misery
yet my pain is nothing in this world
ignore my trivial issues
give yourself to those who truly deserve
allow them to benefit from your love
it has been far too long
since I have felt you near
Is your absence your voice?
Telling me I’ll be fine on my own?
It has been almost a week
I hope that soon he will be here
for home is within his arms
I thank you sweet apparition
you listen and know me well.
