repeat mode

there you were again
in my dream
and I was helpless
to usher you out
stubborn, as usual
you stayed
long past your welcome
your smile haunting me
teeth everywhere I turned
and that way you have
of asking a question
ringing in my ears
I would like what I feel
to be dead and buried
but it rises from the grave
like in some horror movie
though you would never be
a star in such films
which is the trouble
and I am stuck
in dreams
with you in repeat mode
echoing in my head

  1. Fascinating writing…your poetry is compelling and often mystical to me. You paint a vivid word picture with this one! BTW, I started reading Rizzo’s World and am finding it an intriguing read.
