"The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils."

~ Lorenzo from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (V, i, 83-85)

The Haunting

Friday, August 14, 2009

I am a ghost.
Floating through life is -

a dream

a curse

a memory that one wishes to forget

 

I blame no one, and yet see the faults of everyone
In that one fleeting moment
When my life flashes in front of my eyes
And I realize - 

 

 I

am

alone.

And suddenly, all too quickly,
Just when my life finds its way, its color
It strikes again: 

I am my own ghost.
I haunt the chambers of my mind, my heart,
My body -

 And I cannot face the past that haunts me.
