There are a lot of ghosts here in the south...especially along the beaches.

"I love you"..her words echoed As he turned around "I love you", she said once again He never made a sound "I LOVE YOU"... and her heart did break "I NEED YOU", and she moaned "I WANT YOU"...and she came apart She sunk.... then he was gone He never made a mortal sound Upon this shrouded coast Her crinolins folded with her heart Her man, her love...his ghost She comes to search each misted morn She swears her vows to him She aches and dies each time he fades Goes home, then comes again He left her standing here you see Eternally to wait "I love you" quiet..in whispers now Biding is her fate For lovers make this mortal vow Then hearts get torn apart When fate steps in and weilds the sword And severs loving hearts. And so she wanders along the coast Each morning with the mist She says "I LOVE YOU' as she sighs Then blows the fog a kiss. � Susan de Vegter ��

A misty, mystic, mythic tale as true as the fog kisses the coast.

Another absolute gem in your current Deep South collection Susan, that is laden with atmospheric symbolism and metaphor, rekindling the ghost and apparition of past love in surreal and metaphysical form
You undoubtedly are excelling in this classical genre, which allows your extraordinary poetic talents to be fully observed by your growing readership !
Your picture adds to the fantasy...:)
