"True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen."
~Francois de la Rochefoucauld
All my regrests haunt me like a great legion of ghosts.
They lurk waiting to appear in the places I miss most.
One sits at the piano that I never learned to play.
Another echoes in the voice of the words I never say.
Some linger on the road side of the places I never went.
Others roam to distant places in the letters never sent.
There is one that resides under glass upon a higher shelf.
While another stands in a stranger's shoes reminding me of myself.
Each one follows where I go like a lover still in a love thats new.
For I embrace them close and hard and thats just what lovers do.
Linking with Imaginary Gardens With Real Toads
I do believe in ghosts...I know people that have seen them....and I believe it to be true. Of course my poem is not really about real ghosts, but I do believe that there are many things in our lives that can haunt us just like an apparition or ghost. The only difference is, we have the power to let these things go, or we can choose to continue holding on.
