A Handful of Ghosts

Neville

A Handful of Ghosts

 

It was while

Sharing your

Bed with

A handful of

Ghosts

I was forced

To conclude

There was just

Never enough

Room

There for me

 

So as I bring

You your tea

And a handful

Absolutes

Plus a few

Home truths

Each one

Of them painted

In delicious

Black and white

 

I leave them

Here for you

To digest

At your leisure

Any time of

Day or night

And remember

Whatever

Else you do

Keep my number

      • sylviasearcher

        I sometimes
        Wonder
        If I share
        My bed
        With more than
        A handful

        Of
        Ghosts

        And whether
        There is any
        Space
        In that bed
        Left
        For me

        Just a thought...

        From your words

        • Neville

          Funny innit how just a word, or a few words, or a taste, or a smell, or a sound, or a feeling can trigger a whole series of subsequent questions, concerns and doubts and.... thank you for checking in and considering these words sylviasearcher, always welcome and much appreciated, Neville

          • sylviasearcher

            A pleasant near Miss for your heart. Not the right companion for the whole journey but a few pleasant day trips are on the cards by the look of it.
