do believe in ghosts ?

do believe in ghosts ?
each night I hope old ghosts will tell me 
what I need to hear
but there's only the sound of silence 
the memories we make are both good and bad 
we try to fill the empty spaces in our lives with the good 
we live with the bad as the sun goes down 
hoping if we live long enough in the end the books will
equal themselves out 
I fear the bad far outweighs the good 
and there will be no atonement for me 
do believe in ghosts ?
each night I hope old ghosts will tell me 
what I need to hear
but there's only the sound of silence

The sound of silence... great

The sound of silence... great song great pain, nothing is more painful than the separation of self from everything 


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS    

"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."

I feel you speak for many,

I feel you speak for many, myself included.

When My Ghosts Show Up

 

 

Oh no, not you again!

Thought I got rid of you

like last week's dish water

but no, you back, reeking

and trying to scare

somebody.

.

So, what's up with you?

Old and crusted over as if

a gate rusted, then the rust

rusted. Where did I put

my sander and metal

file?

.

Old ghosts are full of air

and only cause heartache

for a few minutes, then

reality kicks in and you think

if it wasn't for you then

I would not be here now.
