A Haunting Apparition

A visage of you
would stop the sky
whilst universe pauses
its honor no lie


Making your way
through perilous life
ripple’s a harmony
poets recite


Mouth of chastity
dabbed with blood
in kisses from you
instant love


fibrils of life
flowing behind
draw from around
space and time


Gathering your cloak
drew deep sighs
all hearts in range
did capsize


Opening your eyes
lighting the stars
touch from your hand
consumes and disarms


Now that you’ve passed
we shudder in breath
at wondering mystery
of life after death
