Dear, Your Ghost

Caressing; A dark, chilly wind
down my spine. Images and woes; 
Depressing; my deathly throes.
In this spin, an icy grip; 
smell of pine.

Creaking; a deep, heavy croak
reaches my ear. Whispers and eyes;
Seeking; a memory dies.
A breath choked, through the mist;
apparent pier.

Approaching; damp, soggy wood
under my feet. Elbows and knees;
Encroaching; thoughts of need.
As I stood, a reaching myth;
we never meet.
