Poem- Left behind

No more the ghost.

another nightmare and I remember being awake
in bed, poised in between two worlds
of dreams, the who Am i and the Spy in me,
in wonder of this place i found myself alone to be,
A stranger in strange land without anyone,
an empty hand my heart beseeched
unto the night, sky rushed away in blur of falling stars
to reach, one thought to fill my mind, where are the people and
home to find
 
and of this thing i’ve dared not dream again,
or maybe dream to fling myself upon sharp knives
of longing, pierced in silent cry of loneliness unfathomed
deep inside, with which i’ve borne in silent witness twined, as
friends and family I feared to loose, and yet would gladly bid goodbye
my shadow, this entire life but others would die in my stead and
 
away they leave through journeyed job of present time,
in sparkling lands sought wonders, wide laid bare
to glide as ghosts through mind, as were a dream fulfilled
and yet but empty memories to bide the time, in wait of smiles
and searching laughter, pleasures, fleeting moments, all the while
my wound in blanket silence hides my real job and
 
then to find in realms beyond imagined and
all dream, an echo, seeking arrow flies unsought for
in my heart, unseen, forced to lie, wounded winds its way unto nothing, tip
bathed in nectar brings, unto my lips faint taste of promise death
of lies, to point the way to freedom offered in embrace, jewel hidden
from my eye
 
does lead me back unto this place within my heart where she will never understand and
i’ve dared not return to the danger nor let my thoughts imagined ply does
suddenly seem real, and though a thousand miles to cross I could never hurt her and
feel, a gulf of pain these doors unlocked myself revealed, and
yet in realms of thought lies not but emptiness to roam; can this be real,
am i, in reach of the real truth to reveal to her?
