Today’s assignment from Daily Post, Writing 201: Poetry…an elegy, using metaphor, and the word fog…

LOST SOUL
I could bury your lost soul in fog,
The mists of time mysterious…
Seeping through my brain’s lament,
You make me most delirious.
I will not bury you now,
To let you rot away…
You are the beating of my heart,
And there you’ll always stay.
As I release you out of my mind,
I see you in my dream…
A ghost upon my psyche…
So present, yet still unseen.
I cried when you were finished, then…
But never were you diminished…
A breath of life I gave to you,
And now you are replenished.
I write your story on my soul,
To bring you back to life…
A supernatural being, now
free of pain and strife.
Your cryptic ghostly wanderings,
Your still alive remains…
I write your story on my soul,
And sing your sad refrains.
