Ghosts and shadows.

Flesh of my flesh

Blood of my blood

Here I sit with you my love

While all around us

This wild ocean roars

As we

Contemplate the impossible question

What does life have

In store for us?

There are echoes within echoes here

Resounding

As dreams of last night

Make clear

The dilemma of all of

This hidden emotion we swam inside

There was a time when

It was so hard

For me to love you

A time

When

I did not understand

The forces that drove both of us

In pain and fear

But now I feel my sight is clear

And so it is I can be gentle with you

For now I see how

You and I never knew the sorrow

Each other’s hearts contained

Deeper truths

Eclipsed by blame

And yet all the same

We chose to remain

As close as we could be

To one other

And so we will

Guard each others hearts

As we explore

How it might be possible

To make a brand new start

Even as all of these scattered embers of the past

Glow

While day falls into night

As the past

Arises

Enfolding itself

Back inside

All of these ever present

Ghosts

And shadows
