Stranger Love

She moves through living rooms invisibility It takes more than a shadow to be alive Imperceptibility is a frame of mind to open eyes A pulse is harder to find at night Even if you are naked on the staircase frightened Nothing to fear with darkness looking back Nothing is there not seen before My unknown love is pure translucence A cloud of white dancing on thin air In a fog she tries desperately to hug But passes through the wall unlucky Falls for someone on the other side Not to the other side of life, where Like others of her kind find passage Wind moving through dead leaves brings her alive Outside along the haunted house waves crash alone Only sand, sea, and rocks are solid as perceived Seem vacant, empty of life in the absence of light As is my love, a phantom angel, stranger never seen My spirit completes and comforts me at 3:00 am I don't even know her name or mine this time of evening
