Remember Me


In the flushing garden’s garnet path 
we walked entranced,
the scarlet sun with the spectrum of dulcet dawn 
held us within the sequins of the sapphire sky.
You saw my heart contoured 
by the crimson curves of climbing clouds,
but not for very long,
for the rainstorm melted the sky,
you disappeared beyond the rainbow arch.

Over the quartz waves of the desert dunes, 
we trudged with rhythmic exuberance,
until you melted away like the migrating mirage. 
You reached the verdant oasis, 
sprawling with the pulse of my olive heart, 
swept away by the desert storm of yearning, 
lost in the opaque labyrinth of oblivion.

On the silver sands of the satin beach 
we traced the entwined fervent footprints. 
The rolling waves adorned 
the pearly lattice on your ivory feet.
As the tide of time erased my trail,
you walked away with poignant impulse
through the miasma of cascading moonbeam, 
dissolving my nocturnal craving.

The dazzling dawn of desire veneers now 
my heart’s horizon with halcyon hues,
spreading the sunburst tinges 
of my timeless longing for you. 
I remember blushing aglow 
your emotive epitome lost long time ago.

Wandering listless in the wasteland 
of the waned memory of belonging,
my silent tear drops roll on the garden path,
wrapped with the bronze leaves of the fall.
Their rustle echoes your songs for me, 
long lost beyond the still shore of silence.	

When in the seraphic spring 
you are embraced by the sparkle of a new life
you will never know 
how much I miss your world
that does not remember me.

The ending of this poem is brilliant.... 'how much I miss your world that does not remember me.' So many who have suffered a broken heart and when a loved one has walked away or passed away will relate to your poem... There are so many vivid lines here, due to the language used and the word pairings, like garnet path, dulcet dawn and seraphic spring... Congratulations on your placement in the contest..
