My memories with you - a poem



This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 49; the forty-ninth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write.

Your face
key to my past
Each expression
an experience portrayed
Memories abound
as I look at you
The goodbye
coming all too near
No image
can capture this air

My memoirs
about to be lost to fire
You left
my future is lost
I ache more
so is my past
I stare
wanting to preserve you
My guide
to go down the memory lane

    I wonder why she burned her diary... and felt her future was last after she did. Interesting take on the topic :)

    It is a healthy thing to have retained memories of someone special despite having experienced not so smooth a road along the way! Nicely Nimi!

    Nice poetry. I like the line "The goodbye coming all too near No image can capture this air". It says so much.
