Ghosts

 Ghosts

I am alone
Haunted by the ghosts of the past
In love with a dream
That didn’t last
Driven by ideas of Romance not returned 
Touching but not touched
Afraid of my short time that remains 

Age is a sobering bride
A bride that removes the veil of conceit 
And replaces it with seeds of doubt
Can I kindle a fire never there
When all the fuel has run out

My mind and thoughts are still young
Desire and drive not diminished by age
I feel like a child trapped in a withering shell
Chastised from day 1
Have the ghosts left me as well?

Sometimes she would allow me to pick out albums.  I tended to gravitate toward Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, and the collections of 50's and 60's rock and roll beginning collections she brought for us to listen to.  When at my aunt's house I always grabbed her Beatles albums.   At approximately six y

Wipe Away the Tears

Wipe Away the Tears If you’re feeling lonely When the lights are low Just look to the past To a time when we were  Dancing toe to toe The gaze in our eyes A oneness only we could know So go ahead  Go ahead and cry I will wipe away the tears  From your eye I will kiss your tears  til your cheeks are dry I remember your sweet smile Though separated by miles I feel the warmth of your breath on my neck Though we parted and were through All the tears I fought through Brought me peace and our friendship grew  So go ahead  Go ahead and cry I will wipe away the tears  From your eye I will kiss your tears  til your cheeks are dry Helping Healing  Haunting  Daunting So go ahead  Go ahead and cry I will wipe away the tears  From your eye I will kiss kiss your tears til your cheeks are dry
