Ghosts

(11/97)

by: M.V. Briones

Haunted memories

Of a place

Faded pictures

Of a face…

Words unspoken

Thoughts unsaid

Slumbering heartbeats

Cold and dead…

Dancing figures

In the cloud

Painted features

On a shroud…

Now, there’s no sunshine

Only rain

No emotions

But the pain

Keep your vigil

Through the night

For my spirit

Loves the light

Tell the story

Of my days

Play my music,

Show my face.

Hide not my secrets

Truth or lie

Let the silence

Hear not your sigh

Memories: keep on playing

Until the music’s done.

Let This Love live

Until I’m gone.
