RECOLLECTIONS

I have committed to memory
Your touch,
Your body and mine,
Fused together
In an unbreakable bond.
This precious closeness,
Is retained
In the recesses of my mind.
How thankful I am,
For the ability
To remember you so clearly.
You remain indelible on my heart,
How sweet the words,
Murmured,
In the throes of passion.
I recall every one,
And the remembering
Causes exquisite pain.

There have been other lovers
Since you,
Undoubtedly,
There will be more,
In my unending search
For a love to replace,
That which I had with you.
If you had left me for another
I could have hated you,
And possibly been free.
Instead you were taken in death,
Leaving so many things
Unsaid and undone.
Our relationship
Is like a book,
Half written
By a discouraged writer
Who can see no end in sight.
But how grateful,
Truly grateful I am
For the presence of you,
In my life,
If only for a short,
But memorable time.

I be me BUT who does me be?

(big hugggssssss) Oh Das, this is so very heartfelt, sweet friend, though this does happen to so many, I hope this isn't related to you and that your story continues to be written! (sigh) I send angel hugs your way, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Das, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I wrote a poem only the other day of who who still holds part of me, and this hit a nerve, but I enjoyed your story.
