To Someone Whos After Someone Else
Poem by: Russ Hammond
I am convinced you are a ghost
For I cannot seem to find
Where you are, though you are
Quite often on my mind;
A specter of my mind it seems,
The haunting angel of my dreams;
And when I attempt
To caress your face
My hand shreds the apparition,
A delicate piece of lace;
I oft awake in a cold sweat
Having thought you passed before my eyes,
Until then I hadn’t fallen yet
For such a sensual set of lies;
Those lips, that face, that figure,
Those ever-changing eyes;
How can a man resist,
Such a desirous set of lies?
But if beauty is truth
Then you’re surely not a lie
Because beautiful you are
And unworthy am I.

The quest for love always seems to be about finding another to love and for being loved by another.
When the love is given and received unconditionally,
one experiences a joy of life like no other.
The beauty part is only a temporary side benefit.

Oh but it's such a nice side benefit that is terribly hard to ignore, daddyO
It made my heart sting with the way you wrote. The emotion in your writing is very noticeable and heart wrenching. A ghost eh? I really like that idea. Great now I have a sad smile on my face because I can relate and I really,really like the way you wrote this. It's new and creative.
