I am a ghost

I am a ghost, fast fading
Disappearing into the scene
I no longer matter to what was here
Become the one unseen.

I am a ghost, disappearing
Lingering no more
Leaving behind these ties than bind
Behind that eternal door.

I am a ghost, of seasons past
No longer residing in your mind
Like days that pass, they never last
You’ve left me far behind.

I am a ghost, fast fading
Walking away from what could be
Wish I could fight my disappearing
And be the one you need.

My one true constant

For my dearest friend, my one true constant
For keeping me honest, never forsaken
As you stood by me while my legs gave way
I can start over again, come what may.

For the unsung hero, my one true constant
He listens as I ramble, somewhat amused
In his steady company, I am never forgotten
Even when I feel I have everything to lose.

For the faithful companion, my one true constant
May God’s grace shine on you, despite lacking faith
In your stride, I walk on never forsaken
By your side I find my one true place.

What the heart wants (Part 2)

The heart doesn’t understand
the logic of the mind
it accepts those terms when the time has come
but never before, not until then
it is willing to wait, patiently and faithfully
it whispers a prayer, a silent longing
the heart doesn’t understand
the meaning of the word impossible
it only knows that in time, anything can happen.

What the heart wants (Part 1)

There is no denying what the heart wants
it returns to the thoughts
you push away the most
it begs you to turn
page after page
not caring for sense
losing all sensibility
the heart wants what it wants
and it grieves for a longing unfulfilled.
