My Ghost

A house by the sea,
full of one ghost.
She lives with me,
my gaunt, tired ghost.

I see her during the day,
I see her during the night,
she lives with me,
for I am this very ghost.

Be my companion
Look to me as your lighthouse
through good times and bad
Be mine until our ship sails
from the shell-covered sea shore

Another transient weekend
replaced too soon by the
jealous work week.

Barely rested from last week,
the new work week takes
away our day at the sea.

The sounds of the old waves
moving towards the shore,
enticing us quit our jobs and
flee the neverending cycle.

From the shore
a solitary boat
lingers defiantly.

Out there, you will be
painting the horizon
with your thoughts.

Here, with me, you’ll
spin poems and tales
showing me what you
want and love to see.

From the shore
a solitary boat
lingers no more.

Your red boat was lost
to the sea, your stories
were taken from me,
and your love lost at sea.

aristocratic horsey glows so brightly,
greens and golds flare wild at night

naughty show off, you will always be
dancing and bubbling about the sea

sea horse of joy and light
you are such a lovely sight

No air to tell of love and loss,
alone within your space.

Bathypelagic Sand Dollar of the stars,
you seem so diffident.

Calm and round,
you turn tides on or help a heart’s loss.

Oceans look upward,
as your face so bright lights up the night.

Softly,
through a sea so warm moves a creature alone.

Brightly,
light from within attracts friends and foes.

Radiant
within the water, so salty sweet box jellyfish moves to emanate colour and grace.

Luminous greens and blues,
form an iridescent shape.

Undulate, soft and susurrous,
through the silent sea.

phosphorescent sea
watching from the dark shore
jolted from sleep

I feel the winds of the cold sea.
They blow through me, and I feel free.

I feel the waves crash over me.
They move me down, and I can’t see.

I feel the love you have for me.
Your love changed me, so I am free.

I feel the life you lived with me.
Your love lives on just like the sea.
