PHANTASMAL LOVE


Shadows play 
Upon the misty morning's 
Frosted up window 
A delirious dance of something 
I can't quite fathom 
A warm summer breeze on one side 
Trying to kiss the wet lips of anticipation 
Across the pane 
Where it's threatening to snow 
A pagan meeting of ghostly desires 
Risen from the deep wells of longing 
Long hidden in ancient folds of time 
The meeting of quivering hearts 
Paint crimson dreams 
On the canvas of a million shades of grey 
I hear the banshee winds whistling their pleasure 
Compelling hands reach across, craving a touch 
Tattooed beats collide breathlessly, against their will 
Again, and again, and again
Until the almost spent waves of lightning 
Rend the sky apart 
Dawn left stranded on one side, looking drunkenly 
At the blushing hues, rising
Suffusing the face of the beloved falling dusk 
And the frosted pane...
It got etched, indelibly, by warm fingers 
With your name
