Wraith of My Soul

twilight whispers
on the winds
of darkness
the wraith
of my soul
listens

assonance of
this empty house
articulates 
through walls
of dreams
where desires
call out to you

i can hear
your inaudible voice
answering back

see you standing
in the shadows
of time
awaiting
the hours
of destiny
to allow you
to step forward
into the depths
of my awaiting arms

for now
i rest
in fragments
of hope

and wait
for my love
unknown
to arrive

"for now / i rest / in fragments / of hope". Your poem captures the universality of longing, Sandra. I love, "see you standing / in the shadows / of time". Thanks for sharing this achingly beautiful write. ~ John

There will always be that one, dreaming from afar, waiting in the wings, answering in soft echoes and your heart will know it is true. Beautiful my friend, a whisper poem that sings in soft tones of desire and affection. Sigh! Amazing poetry.
