Soul Writing

Sometimes mostly without warning
 you are with me again.
Perhaps the haze of a sunlight halo 
on a strangers hair.
Or the sound of a laugh 
that is just like yours.
Then you are with me again
smiling and warm.
My lonely heart aches 
with your sweet music.
and harbored dreams of a life half fulfilled.
come to life resurrected as though new.
I watch a couple dancing close and feel you.
Breathless I am in your arms
I have not let you go I cannot.
I know I am disturbing your ghostly life.
Our plans and dreams 
are the pieces of you that remain with me.
They stab my heart as an arrow.
They say time heals everything.
They slow passing years may ease my mind.
But who can erase the indelible
writing you placed on my soul?
