Haunted

Shapeless shadows, silently 
shifting, dancing and hiding, 
twirling, twisting. Swirls of 
incense, odorless perfume, 
vapor tinged with mist. Silver 
shimmer, hopeless glimmer, 
beauty in the eye, yet the 
prospects, dimmer. Candlelight 
flickers a desperate glow, 
soulless illumination.Lost in all 
those familiar places, years 
pass by, changing faces. Faith 
which fades, dies away. Envy in 
the glow. Whisper on a silent 
breeze, amusement in a frigid 
tease, longing for the warmth, 
raped so long ago.
