I Hear The Phantom Calling Poem by Leria Hawkins

I Hear The Phantom Calling
Date: February 22,2014

He is my midnight madness
A lover just for dreams
A rewinding case of happenstance
That’s never as it seems
Yet still, such lust soaked visions
Fly free into the night
And I refuse to seek the dawning
Unprepared for the light
So lost in moonlit whispers
A forbidden serenade
Where echoes paint the shadows
Like a dream in masquerade
And just as waning slumber
Creeps slow around my door
I resist the rising consciousness
Hungry still for more
I revel in our passion
A frenzy cloaked in black
Such sweet intoxication
No cause for looking back
He is a twilight fancy
A relentless fantasy
A ghost that haunt my stillness
A flame that cannot be

Yet, how I love the falling
The whispers sweet as cream
He’s like a phantom calling
But only in my dreams…
