O Future Mine

The ghostly snows of my past
haunt me on worthless wintry days,
reminder of so many lost relationships,
suggestive memories of happier times. 

Yet fiendish demons haunt my present,
so many massive crosses must I bear
until, perchance, I can perhaps recapture
the long forgotten exuberances of olden years. 

But memories are sometimes misty,
visions mere tenuous apparitions,
fretful emotions a thing of yesteryear. 

Can I evoke all those occurrences
or should I hope for another chance?
that I might feel again the happiness
that eludes me like a ghostly dance. 

Yet it is at a dance that we meet again,
I feel exuberant again and dream,
To feel the brush of your soft lips,
the simple caresses of your fingertips,
the strokes I’ll give your silken tresses,
to hear your laughter ringing melodious,
to smell your balsamic sexual musk,
and so much more, o so much more. 

I yearn again as she dances close to me,
but now 'tis hell, torment and misery,
I merely live in dream and hope.

The persistence of memory can bring great nostalgic joy, but at other times, sadness. This verse is filled with emotion and beauty. :)

I love Anne-Lise comment, Memories are food for the soul. I do know that every so often I feel those tender touches of lips , touches, and embraces. I can be at thought and like a ghostly presence I feel. Well said and written, Victor. Hugs Eve

I don't know if I would want to keep living if there weren't at least a chance things would improve. Hope you can keep your hope alive until she dances your way. Hugs, Carolyn
