The Ghost of Me

by Alisha Hana

I felt your presence 
Alone with me
Just the way it used to be
I wandered into a terrain uncharted
One full of sleepless nights and silent shrieks 
An unsettling tingle down my spine, 
Your crystalline eyes sear right through me
Freed from the dim shadow of my soul 
A past unfinished, low and behold
A reality that’s icy cold 
A taste I cannot finish 
Magnetized by your being, familiar you feel
your spirit lurking behind me so quaintly and surreal 
You hold all my secrets, your business left unfinished
Peering through the limbs beneath me 
Pierced by your gleaming blue eyes
As deep as the ocean wide
They forever keep me
Locked away inside the maze 
The warmth I can no longer tolerate
Like dust in the wind, I follow you to the unseen
Carried by the drift that keeps me 
From staying in a distant world of endless 
I will not stay 
These words I traveled to relay
Your beauty ignites the souls of the empty 
The transparent soaring of could have been’s
Wrapped tightly, a fleetingly that surrounds me
I travel under its wing,
I travel back to lost yesterdays
My words they vibrate into your being
As I have come here to say,
I will not stay
