“Remember me, O my God, for good.” — Nehemiah 13:31
May the lantern
of my memory
shine like bright gold
as hope of renewal
sustains me
from late summer
through winter’s end
To Fail
My will
I have lost
To every person
Spread the message
Go
To the Black seas of sorrow
Go even from our homes
Yea, from the peaks of glory
Which will sink beneath the waves
Even our agony
The sorrows in our souls
Will work together against
All of us
To change the world
They do go forth
To share the news
My messengers of the sorrow
So go forth my fellows
Listen to them
Because we have refused to
Fight against them
Breath in the pains
Drink in the sorrow
Behold the griefs of the world
Do not
Remember Me
The moment your feet lose their grip
On the boulders which uproot life
Remember I'm only conversations away.
The back of your mind is my quartz-filled palace
Alone, with nobody else to critique
You are the canvas which I want to make perfect.
Harshly, I'm sure, but isn't it loving?
To push you until your fingers fracture
And leave you longing for recognition?
Anxiety is my name, but it sounds too formal
Just call me the footnote man of your thoughts
I'm here to dissect everything like a science project
Carress my chin whenever you feel you are lonely
Sure, it's your fault, but I'll keep you company
But here I am, machine of your success
Observing silence isn’t easy when it’s quiet,
When the spectating stops.
When life sucks your soul back in,
and your mind has regained its license,
and it whispers memories so sweetly.
So its hands are delicate
and the realisation presses itself inwards
and the wipers clear again
and it checks the mirrors
And the wipers clear again
and it swerves off once more for the night,
phone in one hand,
drink in the other.
The dent in your mind never leaves,
but the brain amalgamated to cover it up and grow and absorb.
The flesh will always sink back in.
My story is told.
Remember me when you wake
and rise with the dawn.
hay remember me
remember me everyday
in winter long nights
in summer breeze night
when the dark leaves fruit tree fall
in spring season bloom
Remember me
A feather on
a barren path
Forget-me-not flowers
pressed in a book
A shell left stranded
on a low-tide beach
A nest still warm
after its fledgling flew
A cicada's husk
clinging to rough bark
A horseshoe print
filled with rain
The smoke of a candle
blown out
A dandelion clock
half past its wishes
The fading scent
of jasmine at dusk
A cushion
holding the shape of
weight departed
lamenting
lingering
lilting
longing
losing
dripping
'n
dropping
in
beads
Your voice is not only one of a kind.
It is also what gave back most words meaning.
Words that have long lost meaning to me.
For instance love.
If a woman cannot be yours alone.
Then she is no woman.
That a woman cannot be shared amongst men.
Therefore you are not a woman.
Hence I must be on my way,
To wherever far from you.
Remember me.
Love today once more has no meaning.
I will visit you now and then in my memories.
Then revisit you in my dreams.
At least not you yet the version of you,
That I thought I had known.
For if not through these memories,
For if not through these dreams.
Then how elsewhere would we journey,
Between times.
Today I feel grief like I have lost you to death.
Is it death I've lost you to?
If death is a man then yes I've lost you to death.
Then even in death remember me.
Remember me, why
not; weary am I
in the process of
splinters, of fractures,
of the glass.
Like a Picasso,
I’m admired through
fractals. Remember
my kindness,
absentmindlessness,
my madness.
Yes, my madness,
when I
clean the house,
(You must not touch
my lips, nor feathers)
when I am furiously
flipping knives,
cutting pieces of me
in the dark.
Remember me,
I speak quietly,
(your ear is hot
to the touch, wet
with whispers,
pangs of pleasure.)
I have many voices,
so many choices,
my lot in life.
(Roulette wheel
deciding my future,
if I did not believe
in God)
But I do; remember
me for my imperfect
compassion, the cracks
in my heart, how
I explode. A firecracker
that makes you laugh,
tickles your funny bone,
keeps you breathless,
finds your keys.
Remember how I awaken
under your eyes,
especially when they’re shut.
We are in a storm,
sometimes the umbrella’s jammed,
upside-down, flying off, but
in the end it protects
who we are as man and wife.
Remember me, more
than a wife, mother, child;
remember a friend, a fractal,
a conceived idea, a hope
of the future.
Remember me when the leaves turn gold
When time passes by and the sun turns cold
When our hearts sync up and the beat turns bold
The melody of our song never seems to get old
Remember me when the stars fall from up high
When the heavens darken with tears from the sky
A longing for us brings these tears to my eyes
But I don’t get caught up in the beautiful lies
Remember me whenever time slows down
When spring flowers hit the November ground
So sweetly and gently, they don’t make a sound
Unlike your lips, they’re the best that I’ve found
Remember the warmth of my hands on top of yours
The breathless exchange as we lock all the doors
The taste of our bodies as we lay on the floor
With skin touching skin as we’re aching for more
Remember the whispers that died in the dark
The ashes that remained of our heavenly spark
We cling to old memories like a prized work of art
Even Mona Lisa envies what’s hiding in our hearts
Remember the day that I finally set you free
The day our hearts were swept out to the sea
When cruel fate decided we could no longer be
Just remember our love.. always remember me.
REMEMBER ME
In the light of our youth.
We met, electricity abound.
With passion, we dove into life.
Never giving to Strife.
You were my mat as our love grew,
Adding children to our crew.
Nothing seemed impossible
For this family of four to pursue.
As the children grew
And flew the nest,
We found new joy
Our love did not rest
In the twilight of life,
We never were apart
Until that day illness struck
Our life became cold and dark.
You cared and loved me even more
As I sat at deaths door
In end the Reaper would win
smiling, saying God forgives your sins.
With my last breath,
and the light fading,
“I whispered, remember me
I will be waiting.”
the stars of twilight might fade,
the sun might go out,
and years will wear away the granite;
even when shadows are too dark,
i ask of you now,
only this...
remember me.
the moon will follow
the roads we walked,
through old dreams we held;
look at the wild, untouched places,
and i beg of you now
only this...
remember me.
time sure is long,
distances are huge,
and voices get lost over years;
do not forget the words I couldn't say
for i ask of you now
only this...
remember me.
let the sounds travel in the dark,
across the empty places that are gone;
when only dreams link our souls,
and i beg of you now
only this...
remember me.
In good in bad,in sorrow and joy
There is no one,but I,remember me,O' boy.
You reach heights, you reach the sky
I will hold you always, how much high you fly.
I can see no tears in your eye
Never lose hope,fear or be shy.
I am the saviour, I am the protector
Just move on,try and be the go-getter.
When everything seems lost,everything is gone
Remember me,I am there for you,my son.
I can read your mind,I can feel your heartbeat
You can smile,you cannot fool and cheat.
I make you laugh,I make you cry
I am the one,to give you the courage, again to try.
Every step,every move for you,is always a test
To see how much,you can bear,before the final rest.
When everything seems dark,dumb and calm
Remember me,I am always there for you to charm.
Remember me,my child, remember me
My blessings will shower ,have patience to see...
The day we met I knew we were meant to be together forevermore. Our love was written
in the stars, our destiny was etched in time. Two became one bonded pair deeply in love.
I thought we had forever but in the book of time your journey was penned. You left me
so quickly that I was not ready to let you go. Now, I am lost in this cruel world wandering
alone and weeping. In the dark of night I hear you calling, remember me . . .
in the dark of night
I am here with you darling . . .
you are not alone
Remember me _ fills my heart, it is overwhelming how love can transcend realms and still
be so real. I go to the place where you rest, often, bringing red roses to lay at your head,
that beautiful head full of ideas and words of wisdom. I promise to always keep our love
alive, but I also promise to go on with my life and make you proud. You loved my writing,
so I will write with you as my muse, everything I do and accomplish is because of what you
instilled in me, so yes, I will remember you . . .
the leaves whisper love
as I walk between the stones . . .
to cry at your name
Remember Me
Remember me when I am not there
I ask this please
That you do really care
If you should do so
I’d be ever so grateful
'cause I have been low
And ever so hateful
This is not who I am
I know you realize that
My life has been a sham
Trapping me like a rat
I need to be whole
I need to be sane
I can’t reach my goal
It just withers in vain
But when you do remember me
With kindness in your heart
You really do see
And it helps me make a new start
So thank you for being there
You have been so kind
I shall have no more fear
You have helped me unwind
