My Ghostly Love

 

Kenneth Vincent Walker

 

Above your brow, a

Wound that wouldn’t

Scar, nor heal; simply

 

A souvenir upon your

Countenance pale that

Shall not be concealed.

No longer do I dread to

 

See you in your white

Shroud-like gown, nor

Translucence. For I’ve

 

Grown Accustomed

To your presence; fear

Drains from my veins

And I’m truly elated to

 

Join you in the hereafter.
