I can’t remember; Merlot, Pinotage or Shiraz,
but red and smooth, delectable
to the tongue of one who loves
somewhere beyond the August moon
soon to appear as two
in heaven up above.

I can’t remember; floor or roof
that held my feet in place
and led me to the keyhole
of mind’s immense landscape.

I can’t remember; did I leave
too soon or too late,
did I decide or not decide
how life is meant to be,
and did I or did I not
commune with your soul?

I can’t remember; did I fall
or trip the light fantastic
to land again in my belief
of love beyond the moon?

I can’t remember many things
but I remember loving you!

Dear Helen, how very beautiful! I also wonder sometimes with regard to certain persons in my life if we did agree up there in a sort of soul to soul talk what we would try to achieve down here.

It is to consider a precious gift of the present to remember that you loved; so the full moon of tomorrow invites you to live this love again fully and consciously ... be bold!

Love and hugs, dear Poetess.

Thank you, dear Margherita. "The full moon of tomorrow" ... but we only have "today" and today there's no invite.

Thanks, Larry. I very much appreciate you reading and commenting.

Dear Helen, I meant the real yesterday's full moon, so I intended the NOW of your life. Love does not send us any invitations, we are free always to love, even those who do not requite our love. It feels good, because we are all one after all.

Hugging you in this moment of soft melancholy.

Helen,

This is one of those poems that I wish I had written.

I love it.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. To remember is perhaps not the best of things but I do and we do even if we don't know that we do.

Love
Helen
