My indelible memory is you,
An unanticipated constant,
Endessly eluding capture.
I nourish only a sensation
That you breathe and it feeds my drive
And extravagant likes.
Yet, today, I chose to exile you
From the shelf of my mind,
Humanise your grace,
Allow the mundane
To shape your aliveness
And deliver you back from the unattainable.
Other inquisitive eyes and hands
Shall feast on your nights
And teach you to cherish your days.
And the memory of you shall build itself
Out of my inwardness,
Giving my path boldness.
“to shape your aliveness……”
beautiful phrased to reach out and carve out the essence of human heart.

Thank you so much. I am glad it moved you.
The inquisitive reader will have their curiousity richly rewarded by this adroitly understated foray into the existential.
One can only hope beauty is revealed while reading poetry. Thank you.
