I am but a ghost

I am but a ghost

I am but a ghost
A shadow in your mind
A figment of your memories
Faded over time
A cloud across the sun
A specter in your dreams
A faint and fading image
An echo that was me.
I am but a ghost
Still clinging to this life
A haunting, twisted ember
Lost inside the night.
A soul that’s left to wander
On the edges of your heart
I am but a ghost
Destined for the dark.

amazing... but not a ghost all the way..hihi ........................................................

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
