My Yesterday Boy

Ghostly shadows linger near

Boy with Green Cap
by Robert Henri


My Yesterday Boy


My little star in dark night,
eyes that plead.
Your light like angels singing
while my soul bleeds.

Ghostly shadows linger near
denying me.
I long to reach once to touch,
pull you to me.

But you're my yesterday boy,
long ago saint.
Puzzle of two dimensions,
canvas and paint.

Not from my time, yet so near.
I hear murmurs.
Hearts drumbeat through deep ethers
Haunted tremors.

Yes, I agree with the others, the poem has an existential sweetness about it. Your feminine instincts blast through yet again. I enjoyed it... thanks.
