Ghostly Shadows (+Reading)
Ghostly shadows
Waltzing in the dark
In an abandoned garden
Where are the stone lions
Where silhouettes melt
A castle of dreams in a purple sky
Where the moonlight pours
Through the lace of the foliage
Where in the mirror of the pond
The sad swan froze
Through gloomy halls
Captivated by the moon
Two ghostly shadows
Glide slowly through the darkness
Silently moving away
Merge into one
Their light movements
Can't be heard in midnight silence
Not a sound, not a soul
On marble steps
Diamond dew
The star canopy shimmers
We circle slowly
Captivated by the moment
Dancing in the dark
Barely touching the floor
Through the twilight of the ages
Through the field of scarlet roses
Over time and death
Elusive haze
Above the plume of clouds
Over an ocean of stars
Waltzing in the dark
Forever inseparable

Over time and death

Above the plume of clouds
Over an ocean of stars
Waltzing in the dark
Forever inseparable

Author's Note
This was done a little while back but I never posted it so I guess I will in case some are not sick of these yet. I cannot say I was entirely happy with it but I am still not sure if most people actually listen to them anyway. :)

Geez, I have heard that before (a lot, lol). A poet, okay I will take your word for it (not really but I am trying) and I keep being told to change my description but baby steps. And I do love eloquent, that definitely makes me really happy. 💖 XOXO

YOU GOT SKILLS AND IT SHOWS THROUGH YOUR VOICE AND WRITING THROUGH PEN UPON PAPER 🙏😎

Dear K,
I’m out of complementary words to attach to your poetry. My lexicon is depleted. I can only bow in adoration.
What an image filled piece. And listening to it was like being taken on a journey narrated so beautifully as to see the hero and heroine of the story, dancing in timeless love. Kind of reminded me of the original movie The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. I loved it and this poem is as epic as I found that movie the first time I saw it.(not when it originally came out, I’m not as old as all that) but...you know...when they air these gems on old movies tv ☺️.
The more you lend your voice to these writes the more I’m convinced you’ve another lucrative career ahead. However, that aside, this is another academy award winning piece of writing. Beautiful. H🌷

And I have run out of words to reply to your spectacular comments. Does that mean we are even somehow? lol Really Honoria, I don't think my heart can handle a comment like this so please be careful. I am truly humbled so much. I have never seen The Ghost and Mrs. Muir so I will have to look that one up. Old movies TV, got it. ;) Another lucrative career, oh no I could not handle that - just going to pretend you did not say it and move on quickly. Thank you so much, really I feel like I have not said near enough to express how much your comment means to me. But I am going to start just typing a bunch of gibberish so I guess I will stop now. 💖 XOXO
29th Dec 2020 9:43pm
Your voice is a traesure, sweet Kristine. Doubly love the poem and amen to what Honoria said😘
29th Dec 2020 10:11pm
Hey GW, that's a really sweet thing to say. I really appreciate that on these so much; definitely makes me feel better, thank you so much. And I am really glad you love the poem and want me to speak gibberish since you said amen to what Honoria said. lol 💖 XOXO

It's always a joy to hear your voice reciting poetry. I loved the dark and loving theme in this piece, each line seemed to float in ethereal motif.
Beautiful work.
Beautiful work.
30th Dec 2020 12:59pm
Thanks Wally, you have made for a nice morning seeing your beautiful comment. I am always very reluctant with these and so you saying it's a joy really means more to me than you know and makes me feel a lot better. And your description is perfect as well. 💖 XOXO
30th Dec 2020 2:55pm
I have to confess I'm one of those people who often flies by without listening, and even without a comment... but I did listen to this! I find it so interesting to hear poetry read in an accent different from the voice that reads it in my head. It adds a whole new dimension of personality to the work. It also motivates me to record some of my own, which I still haven't been brave enough to do yet...
Nice work, poet!! 🙂
Nice work, poet!! 🙂

I love that you shoot straight, BT. :) And I am so glad you were able to take a moment to listen and I appreciate your thoughts so much because posting these is always a mental struggle. So hearing your experience that it added another dimension is great. I am sure you are much braver than me so you should just do it. 💖 XOXO
30th Dec 2020 5:16pm
You have the talent and should showcase it. Don't waste the beauty of your words.
30th Dec 2020 5:25pm
I think that is the most concise comment that has ever left me speechless. I don't know what to say other than that it is such a beautiful sentiment and I really appreciate it more than you know. 💖 XOXO

Gorgeous composition in lovely proportion of depth, meter, nicely paced in your audio, dimensions of your enunciation and the background track lending a lovely sensitivity to the whole. Beautiful work. 💖🎶🙏

Thank you so much for the comment and feedback Daniel, you always make me feel so good about these because I am always so hesitant to post. I really appreciate it so much and I am glad you mentioned the background track. I never spend a lot of time looking for those and finding free to use can be difficult so I am glad this one worked. 💖 XOXO
