Path of shadows

Echoes ancestral reverberate

Within the haunted circumference

Of your eyes

As a path of shadows opens

Inside my heart

There were times you were like

A crazy winged bumblebee in flight

But as fast as you ran

It seems there was really no way

For you to outrun your sorrow

These paths of shadows call to me now

In dreams that only come

After 5 am awakenings

It seems so long since these ancestral phantoms lingered

With such menace

Lately I find myself lost for words

At the same time as I remember how lucky I am

To longer to be held

All of the time

Hostage by ghosts
