Trapped

Indeed, I hear your whisper in my ear -
Raising the tiny hairs on my nape;
Swallowing slowly, as not to miss a drop -
From what is it, you so long to escape?

Mesmerized, I am waiting for the flow -
The images and sounds you wish to share;
At warp speed, the feed of the story -
Brought to this point by doom and despair.

Time, for you, having stood endless still -
Centuries and ages have long been past;
The peace you need is no longer here -
Lost in the darkness, ever so vast.

Someone to tell you where she awaits -
Forever, alone, you have so waited;
Lost in the flow of things gone wrong -
And all you hadn't anticipated.

In the light of love she patiently waits -
All you waited so long here to find;
Waiting over there, while you were here -
Rise up - leave now this world behind.

Back to the glory from wince you came -
Healing and peace await you there;
Love in abundance for you evermore -
Just for you, I give this prayer.

Ghost Rescue

Aye, I see you standing there –
But tell me – what can I do?
You cannot see me, it seems;
But I can see you.

What agony it is for me –
Wondering what you are to do;
Spinning in a constant wind –
Staying here – looking for you.

I make a loud crashing noise –
You scream and wince in fear;
I want to tell you not to be afraid –
But my words you cannot hear.

Time keeps moving along -
New faces are all around;
Again, I ask, with no replies;
And, still, I have not found.

For mercy, I pray – Set me free!
And then, like a cloud of light –
The help I so long had sought –
A light in the room – so bright.

What an answer I get indeed!
An angel, it seems, is sent –
Finally, someone can hear me!
Tell me how to repent!

Where, do tell, has my love gone?
Where is it that she awaits?
Here, I’ve waited, ever so long-
I am ready for my fate!
