Haunted
‘tis not the specter,
dead and gone, that haunts my soul,
troubling my heart…
‘tis a living love, now lost,
our past drenched in cool regret
obsessed, I’m ruined
by each moment’s ecstasy
I cannot forget
~kat
A Tanka/Senryu combination for Colleen Chesebro’s Weekly Poetry Tuesday Challenge, prompt words Ghost (Specter) and Haunt.
haunting the hopeful
a ghost of a chance dangles
to keep dreams alive
I believe in ghosts
not that I’ve seen one up close
but i have felt them
my old house whispers
each creak, each groan tells the tale
of a voice silenced
