When I am gone
I will haunt you
Whisper across your windowsill
Glide across your floor
I will be the slight chill
Which bids you draw your coat
Around your shoulders
And a breath
Against your cheek
Before you sleep
I will be the song line
Running through your mind
With the lyric
Not recalled
Just achingly out of reach
When I am gone
I will haunt you
I will have little else to do
And in death, as in life
All begins and ends with you.

Oooh …. shudder! Evidently this relationship did not end well!
Great poem …. very, very well written. 🙂
Thankfully its just an imagined relationship in this case…because, yes, it wouldn’t be a good sign for a real one! Thanks so much for your kind words, as ever my friend! 🙂
I’m glad it’s not a real relationship, because the haunt-ee is in serious doo-doo!
Enjoyed this one — ! 😀
Helen… remind me to never piss you off! hehehe…. great writing my friend.
LOL, I’m sure you’re safe…I can’t imagine you ever pissing me off my friend! 🙂 🙂
got enough ghosts haunting me… don’t need anymore. LOL

You are such a talented poet! I’ve nominated you for the Next Big Thing Award! Congrats and great work! http://whenibecameanauthor.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/the-next-big-thing-award/
Thank you so much!! I doubt I will have time to follow this through – but you will see I did follow through the Dragon one and so, right back at you my dear 😉 ..YOU are a great writer and a great friend, so much apprciated!! 🙂
Thank you Helen! Thank you so much! You are a wondeful writer too, I’d love to be able to write poems like you do! I wish you the VERY BEST luck in all your future endeavors!
Gad! Made me grimace at the end. Very effective.
LOL, thank you so much!! 🙂
It is hard to be afraid of such a “playful” attentive ghost … loved this! Almost makes me want to be haunted 🙂 Well-written poem, but that almost goes without saying whenever I visit your blog. 🙂
Thank you – yes, I didn’t mean the ghost to be scary..more lonely and loving really… 🙂
… If you’re gone, what will be called home??? Nicely done, thumbs up!!!
Thank you so much, very much appreciated!! 🙂
An eerie melancholy. Well done!
Thanks so much, very kind of you. 🙂
Whether you’re being frivolous or trying to freak me out this is very good. Each verse brings up a scene or a feeling that’s both realistic and chilling and it winds up with thr lovely motivation for the whole piece. Very enjoyable reading – well done.
Thanks so much! It was probably more frivolous than scary in my mind when I wrote it but I can see from comments it can be read either way which is kind of cool…I suppose if we are ghosts thre are probably some people we would haunt for good reasons and some for not so good reasons…and either could fit this poem’s scenario! 🙂
again great poetry…the poem unless stated to be forceful…should always in my opinion be mysterious,,,haunting, beautiful, longing
Thanks so much!! 🙂 🙂
no problems
