The Sweetest Haunt

It was a moonlit thought and,
When the whole world was masked,
I met a midnight blur, 
A breathing whisper!

There was never a costume,
But oh the mystery clung to you like mist,
A magic I didn't see coming,
But now the story I keep rereading...

It was the kind of haunting that didn't hurt,
It was pure. It was alive.
Every wind whispered a maybe,
Just like the whole world knew your name. 

Your eyes - spells so deep,
Made the dark feel like home. 
You were never mine to begin, it's true...
But darling, I think I was always haunted by you, beautifully!

Your whisper struck me like a speer of essential desire, language never felt more luscious in the ear, the more near the more electric clear, your motive had nothing to do with mercy, you were serving savage enlightenment the only way you knew how, the truth of irresistible instinct...J.A.B.
