of times

haunted this house
from long long ago
at least that is
how the stories go
from a lady
awaiting her mate
lost to sea
some stormy fate
but after years
of living here
all so alone
still await she died...
they told me of this
with smiles all hid
of the spirit
that lived still within
yet when they described
a sight all had seen
in a window high up
light of a candle seems
then there were no smiles
no disbeliefs
just a sadness for
someone whom awaits
now...
would i describe
this house of mine
as a haunted place
so many have asked
smiling i would reply
with a gentle no
all the while feeling soft
unseen lips
brush slow my cheek
from a love
of long long ago
and late at night
no candle is lit
for this house sleeps
at last
content...
