And You?

Thunder stalks the halls
ghosts swirl through raggedy dreams
as memories tiptoe in
grounding their mark on my shore
�
Your wraith fixes booby-traps
an army of combers
strung hungry along the beach
eager to trap the ache
of a battered driftwood heart
�
And when she jumps
your impossible fish
startles without fail
a flurry of kisses remembered
through lifetimes refusing to heal
�
Tears consign �
the might have beens
to sigh out the night
under sheets martyred 'till dawn
the hug of time's venom
crushing each maybe and perhaps �
pickling hearts in a jar
�
All those could haves
would haves
should haves
the tsunami of bitter sweet-nothings
humbled to dust �
suffocating my soul
while I wonder still-- �
Could it be the same
for you?
