My ghost


I have lost my ghost

it wrapped around my legs

like a friendly snake doing a pretzel

 

My food does not go mysteriously missing

my favorite spots are not occupied

I am not reproached for existing

 

By bed is my my own!

 

Maybe,

just maybe,

this time,

I am not talking about a cat

thanks Jayne

maybe, just maybe, this poem needs the right demographic. It's about finally cutting ties with a man who was so in love with me he lost himself and became a ghost. It was the hardest break-up ever. kind regards, Jean, meow, bite, purr, yowl and perfect body language express all

I see that now we can expect an Ode to a double bed, something along the lines of :- where did you hide this space from me, I streach out near to eternity, yet your sides avoid my touch, tell me have you always been so much. Noises that came to me from your structure seemed, to be an unfinished melody ,Now I can play and more movements are added how strange the sounds that spill into my mind have I left a movement behind, etc: etc: But in doing that think what amazing waves and movements can be made in a house where only a footmark or two from you use to be dull now I can run wild, write stories and hear sounds of everything I love. To cast only one shadow does not mean that we walk alone, when you think with a logical mind and there is no answer to your questions then you are truely alone,Lovely write, Yours Ian.T
