    the wedding ghost

    <>


    if you listen unfettered and closely 
    you can hear the tears fall at your wedding
    a failed union remembered morosely
    in returned toasters, knives and bedding
    those that miss you and need you back
    have scraped and scratched your box black
    as you walk through all of these rooms
    those hot and cold memories blue consume
    there are cars in your driveway headlights aflame
    their broad rooftops all wet with rain
    as you walk though all of these rooms
    so do remnants of hatred, sorrow and fear
    and those who've conspired
    and do not want you here
    the wedding ghost

    Wow! Sometimes when I return to reread or revisit my poems/songs, I can feel how real the sorrow is. 80% of what I write is from personal experience, this poem is fiction. But, damn! This poem is extremely sad.

    I felt this and cried...it was personal and so relatable that I felt partly like you were reading from me...I know that's a strange thing to say but its my way...I hope you get that...you always have an insight that is genuinely and uniquely available for so many at just the right moment....

    Glad I got to reach you. So happy that you are still reading me as I am reading you, too. 😍
