Throwing down the gauntlet here. The awful thing about this one is I thought it was good...
GHOST/SLIDE/BY
Did you feel that ghost slide by,
lover mine?
slide by as cold damp air
outside the room we shared
not long ago?
Did you feel that ghost slide by?
We are not young, lover mine,
nor ever will be
again,
never again will be,
but do we care?
Feel the ghost slide by, shadow upon us here.
Will you greet or turn from him?
Smile or fear?
All things, say ghosts, yet live, and he is ours.
Shadow upon us here.
Spirit and ghost and shadow, take us, here.
Now take us, lover mine,
if we would go.
How can we know?
Do you feel our ghost slide by
as we love here?
There is no time, and yet all time is ours.
Lover mine, accept me now.
Our ghost is me.
Feel my gauzy breath,
this dark night of your heart
and know that I am near.
Lover mine,
shadow upon us here,
feel your ghost slide by
and know that I am near...
