Veneration On Ghost

She lingers in my dreams
Like a sempiternal sense

Contrive a sense of glamour
Which makes her ineffable

I recall a lissome cynosure 
Attributed from a demure

Yet an ingénue as she is
With her mellifluous voice 

A pair of chatoyant eyes 
Depicts a goddess of a lass

Alas, such a terminally ill soul
Panacea is even back to the wall
