~ Ghostly Shadows… ~ 
☆
In a quiet placid room dark and deep
I chase a silence that steals my sleep
*
A restless ache wriggles in my chest
A truth I know but can never accept
*
My pulse betrays yet holds me near
As a hollow reverberating echo I hear
*
Alive without you —in a cruel disguise
A scar concealed from the waking eyes
*
Each heartbeat burns relentlessy slow
Your absence enrages the life, I know
*
I move out but the dreams take flight
As they hide in shadows of the night
*
Your soul still lingers on these walls
A ghost answers, whenever love calls
*
My voice returns in vain clearly defined
Many relics carved in mind, well outlined…!
