Indelible

here you are, indelible in my heart. You nestle there, comfortable, sometimes Nudging my consciousness if you Temporarily fade from view. There you are, a stain that cannot be removed. Covered sometimes with a cloak of concealment But always jostling for attention, Poking, prodding my awareness. There you are, permanently marked. Written in my history, always a mystery That can never be solved, yet mysterious No more in your familiar familiarity. I cannot remove you from the blueprint of my life. You are penned there enduringly, alluringly Tempting, pulling on my fortitude: undaunted Undeterred, there you are - eternally.
