The Admirer

This is a poem of affection

The Admirer

I am a phantom, a figment of your imagination
I am the sea of shifting night
I am the heartbeat that thunders in your veins
I am the wolf that bays in the dark, calling out the notes in your name
I am the wind that ripsaws across the plains
I am the gale that fills the sails of your heart when the rest of the world lies still in it's tempered silence
I am the road beneath your feet that carries you down paths unknown
I am the stars that light your eyes so you can behold the sea of dreams that dazzle your vision
I am the ship that wanders the tides of your mind,
casting you aimlessly into the abyss
I am the traveler that holds the keys to your memories
I am the locked door that knows the secrets of your heart
I am the hunter that stalks through the forest,
in search of the danger that follows your footsteps
I am only the ghost that haunts your thoughts, the protector that guards you in your dreams, I will be here when all others have abandonded you,
the love that never leaves you.
