Ingrid Showalter Swift Poet Free verse

Do You Remember Me

Do you wait for me?

Did you mean what you said

Small not so tall me
Hungry simple me
Dying by fire me
Always willing to walk on water
Move the mountains
Stop the rivers
Reverse the direction of the sun
For you
Do you remember me?

I was the one that was made of gold and mir
I shivered with eternal light
I was the one you rested your forehead on
Head to head
I was the one you could not let go of ever
No that was me promising to never leave 
as if I had the power of God to love you no matter what
oh but it was only the mermaids 
A siren's song
Singing songs of completion
" Here ...do come here
to find true love
No matter that you
Crash and splinter on my rocks
Rocks -a billy crazy love songs
desperate conjoel
Promises only God can keep 
and you
You don't believe in God
We do not have that in common 
Common man
Because I believe and when I said it I meant
I believe 
in love

Daniel Henry Rodgers February 27, 2024 at 6:19 PM Dear Ingrid, Your poem is breathtakingly powerful. The raw emotions and vulnerable questions resonate deeply. The contrasting images of "gold and mir" shivering with "eternal light" and the desperate yearning to be remembered create a captivating and heartbreaking picture. The final line, "I believe in love," leaves a profound impact. This is such a poignant piece.- Blessings, Daniel Ingrid Showalter Swift February 28, 2024 at 3:29 AM Daniel What an incredible comment! Thank you so much Your appreciation encouraged my quiet muse to awaken ????
