Apparition



Apparition in the Woods - Moritz von Schwind, 1858

 slipping into lucid dreams a ghost whisper thin
beyond silken veil, in a parallel world
writing poetic verses, songs from within
waiting for you in a bed of roses curled
in another realm, will your heart I win
or are you simply an apparition...

  2. Nice phrase: "songs from within
    waiting for you in a bed of roses". I hadn't thought of winning the heart of a ghost before, but I like the idea of it.

  3. Oh the hope of that romance... maybe the hope is more important than reality though.

  4. I love the way your Quadrille slips into the mind like an apparition and then leaves it again with a lasting imprint. I especially like the phrases: 'ghost whisper thin' and 'songs
    from within', which make me wonder if the ghost is external or internal.

    What is seen or even imagined can become reality if desired hard enough. Possibly so, True!

  12. Delicate verses, feathery and breezy like an apparition...

    Many greetings from Germany, from the Karfunkel fairy

  13. Your piece speaks to me of one courting the poetic muse - and I know that mine is just one way of looking at it. Your words paint a delicate picture.
