Ghosts Within

 

Your presence within my soul haunts me at

the most inappropriate times.

Driving past a house in an unfamiliar neighborhood

Urging me to stop instantly

Why am I here my mind will wonder and yet the urge

To enter is irresistible in my mind

I walk through an unknown house and know that

I am home once again

Reading through a novel I come across a name

I’ve never heard before

All of a sudden I realize I did know this person

in some forgotten time.

The aroma of a foreign food floats across

The restaurant air

Your specter, nudging me to taste a dish

I’ve never heard of before.

The time I tired to speak a deep thought but could

not find the right words.

Your spirit stirred and the words I spoke

were not my own.

Watching an old movie on television late

on a lonely night

A foreign language spoken and yet I suddenly

realize I understood every word.

An apparition from a soul lost so

Very long go

A phantom that keeps creeping through my

mind at whim

Disguising itself as a memory

Of a time I know not when.

Excellent poem, Sherry! Coupled with the pic of the house, it is hauntingly inspiring. The people/places that have touched us without us aware and imprinted on our souls, and a word or scent or place can bring them to our consciousness. Thanks for a very good read. Sharon

I love your poem but I am not too fond of ghosts. I saw a ghost once, and it (she? he?) had a very frightening aspect.

I have had the same feelling. Knowig that somethihng or someone was with me though unseen. Sometimes the poftry here makes me cry and feel sad. When this happens it is like the object or person written about is with me. Bill
