Almost, not quite, so close...

waking in the dark, you
will see me,
feel the
heat of me
on your chest,
lips breathing
on your cheek.
suspended just
above you, not quite
touching, not quite
there.
still with you
through the memory
of what has been...
So far. So near.

That did it.

Off for another cold shower.

I've got to quit these visual therapy sessions. My skin is going all wrinkly.

Exquisite. Think I need to go take a brisk walk now.

You do have an effect on your readers! One off for a shower, one off for a walk.

You had an effect on me too but I'll just keep quiet about it if you don't mind!

Actually, I saw this the same day I caught the post just beneath it.
I went to the two links....

This is kind'a scary, though I see the other guys are cool with it.
It's so ethereal, though, I get the idea that the 'floater' is a mysterious ghost, somehow still bearing heat.

('baring' heat?)

Oh well.
My denseness is my downfall, eh?

I wrote this while I was fantasizing about something I would like to happen but has not yet. So, for me, it isn't a ghost but a wish.

i thought maybe about an incubus, but they are somewhat unsavory......

when you said it was a wish, i remembered there are many different types of ghosts........
