Remember Me

Remember me
My Elysee

In the low hours

When you are weak 
And have lowered
Your powerful barriers

For it's then I can only be seen

Remember me
As that tsunami of furious fire

That once reenergized you
In those dark years

When you were alone and tired

To be wholly free

Remember me
By looking at my picture

Your now favourite 
Black and white one I sent you

As my holy scripture
That you'll only need

Remember me when you are old 

Standing brightly as the early morning sun 

In the darkness of old age

Even though your beloved memories are getting cold

Before God turns your page
So you can fade away

To join me 

As the hours and seconds
Run away 

Remember me
So I may stay
In some strange spiritual way

To give you comfort

Until you too are recalled
To float away

Someday

Remember me
My poetic love 
So I can come to you

In dreams

Walking down to find you
Through the ethereal blue rivers and green

Underground streams 

To reach you to swim
Together 

Reunited

In the Holy Sea
Until the early morning sunrise

Remember me

As your true spiritual devotion

Who you never met in physical flesh

But one
Who wrote down 
In his pre-life road map

With his spirit guide
In another

Far away nation

"I want to meet someone so extraordinary 

Someone worldwide
Who will show me such poetic wonders" 

"That my heart will open up its velvety doors and ask to be possessed as it pleads to confess

Before I once more walk 
In these heavenly tides
Of the Holy Sea"

And then I suddenly met you
Mesmerised 
By all

I could see

So that's why I pray
For you 
Each night

So you'll remember me
As I wait here

Walking barefoot and alone
In the swirling tides
Of The Holy Sea

Waiting 
for the one

I once wrote down before I was born

Now known
As Elysee

The only one I'll ever need
