Ghost Dance

Here we dance

Across this stage

To a starlit sonata

Until the night fades…

My love, I have learned to live

With you so far away

So missed from my world

But I know it’s too late

This is my never ending romance

It will never be properly explained

You are my inspiration and my light

Though it is not thoroughly displayed

For every poet needs a rhyme

Every composer a tune

Every writer needs a prose

And to me, my dear, this is you

I miss your sincere words

As simple as they were

The beautiful thoughts that promoted them

Were silent but clearly heard

You are perfect

This, my love, is not a lie

Your voice melts my soul to tears

For I know you will never be mine

& as I write my masterpiece

I want your presence here

My ghost whom I continue to exorcise

You are a want, a need, a fear

But sadly I will never do that again

No, I wouldn’t dare try

So come, my angel, take my hand

For we dance in my dreams tonight…
