he was but a ghost now -
a spirit - without color without life -
a revenant returning now and then
to that misty chamber in her heart
to remind her that she, too,
had once been alive -
had once been
more than a mere apparition
without color without life
without love -
but that, with his absence,
she, now, like him,
was but a ghost...

Oh so beautifully dark, Gypsywoman! Just in time for All Hallows! Delicious!!! And I love that image, too!
Nevine
thank you so much nevine! actually didn't have all hallows in mind at all - but it worked out that way! just started with the thought of love gone by - anyway - loved this image - i've seen it around a lot - so glad you like!
i did not see her at first or is it meant to be a him or maybe it matter nothing whatever since they are one anyway...it is spooky and since i did not at first see it, it kind of scares me as i sit here alone in the middle of the night with the wind blowing a hot wind and wishing for sleep to come overtake me and let me rest. gypsy, i am tired...

oh, dearest linda - it hurts my heart to hear you are so tired! wish i'd been up when you sent this post so maybe we could have "talked" some - it's so hard when insomnia takes us over - and other things then seem to complicate themselves -
the image is whatever or whomever the viewer wishes it to be - but you are right, in my poem, they are one - you always "get me", lady!
listen, if you wanna chat anytime, just contact me through my email shown on my profile! ok?
love ya! hugs!
great, dark,
beautiful writing!
thank you SO much! means so much just comin' from you!
