A place like home

I've been kissed by ghosts a thousand times
searching for people hidden
an aged magazine
filled in voices of shadows 
blind fingers
chaotically touching the third eye
retain silence
screaming my name
caved
the fury of a tsunami wipes
last fingerprint...

who just walk past
it's not welcome on the altar
of my soul
barefoot 
written first love story
the only room 
for
my body
faith
purity
and
ETERNITY.

This is a deep poem, I have been kissed by ghosts also... great use of metaphor Elana.. nice to use these things in poetry rather than just writing simple words... great poem.
