The Ghost of Art
In the quiet still, of the night...
when the city rests it's eyes,
The only one awake, is Me
Weaving verses,
beneath the moonlit skies.

Amidst gentle candles, and their glow.
I dream of love and hope forevermore,
the moon's glow baths
the whole place, through it's beam
A pleasant solitude, a poet's silent dream.

A gentle hush, of the winds,
sway the curtains in a dance.
As the quiet howls of the winds, stop.
A figure I gaze upon,
standing near the window's pane now...

It calls my name, in a cherishing tone.
at the moment, in the room anymore,
I wasn't alone.
I stand at once, walking towards where
it stood, it felt as if it was familiar...
the things I loved, it too understood.

Robes of ash grey, but paints of colours it
had, what he wore.
Marks of beauty...Like a painter does
after finishing a work.

Although covered in skeleton
and thin bones,
To me it felt, beneath...
