Happy birthday Mr Ghost
You were the best of lovers
Grace under the covers
But not much of a gentleman on your toes
Tonight you will dine not in style
Drown your conscious for a while
Use your wit and wiles on painted smiles
Smother the memory of six years ago
What was done at the foot of the mountain
Unleashing the gurgling fountain of Life
Then leave me like a lonely river fountain
Not much of anything, but hidden
Brackish broken brooke, shallow stream
Connected ever so slightly
To the ocean of everything
Mothering patches of moss and fern on the banks
Silent wood creatures quench their thirst w/thanks
Untouched by humans yet undiscovered
Lonely little river content w/ flowing.
The ghost still hovers like a dark cloud
Dead yet somehow cognizant
Interacting, finding near meaning in haunting others
Poor miser among the shadows I toast your health
Your cloud rained upon me once
About Me
- Kathy (杜 言 艷)
- I just returned back to the States after 11 years in Taiwan with my daughter. Taiwan is an excellent base for us explore Asia, while living in relative (gun free) safety, while benefiting from a cheap and efficient national health care system. The people are amazing too. I have Taiwanese friendships that are 20 years old and I'm always making new ones! My coworker here in CO is from Taiwan.
