Love Poem: Ghost of Love

Ghost of Love

Ghost of Love

In my peripheral vision
an angel shimmers in light 
cast by the coals in the fireplace
right where we whispered last night

Somehow I know you aren't coming
back from the night and the storm....
and the thought of that is so chilling
even the fire can't make me feel warm
 
I waited in vain after you left
for your goodnight call
we had so much to live for
but a drunk driver ended it all
 
All I have left is memories
of the love so sweetly you gave
my heart went with you, my darling
when they covered your grave
 
Now you will sleep forever
with the angels above
all I have left here on earth
is just A Ghost of Love
