Phantom
By Brian Eichenlaub
It is not
A Haunting
Carved into your soul
It is not
An Apparition
Trapped in the folds of time
It is not
A Memory
Absent of your touch
It is
A Desire
Hopeless, known only to me
For it has not been
That was a beautiful sentiment! You wrote a lovely poem.
E. V. (Beth) Wyler
Thank you for these words – I really like your poem. Such strong images, beautiful, yet haunting – great job.
