REMEMBER ME IN RHYME
Look closely into the ashes of concaves
And try to grasp them as they drift away
Memories flutter on winds of yesterday
You might just find me among the remains
Remember when we were young
When immortality seemed so sure
Remember when we did not suffer
Now I drift among the pages burned
Remember me in the rhyme
And entomb my word behind the glass
Remember when us in forever
And look for me in shades of the past
And I’ll burn for you
Sift through the ashes of echoed scriptures
If you gaze upon our haunted pictures
What will you find in our graven features
A lost love or the dead face of a creature?
Remember when we were young
When immortality seemed so sure
Remember when we did not suffer
Now I drift among the pages burned
Remember me in the rhyme
And entomb my word behind the glass
Remember when us in forever
And look for me in shades of the past
And I’ll burn for you
I wish I could be there for you
To celebrate the legacy
Of two hearts beating the rhythm
Together as one wrapped in twine
I’ll be there underneath the moon
Enduring all their heresy
Hear me from within the schism
And remember me in the rhyme
Remember when we were young
When immortality seemed so sure
Remember when we did not suffer
Now I drift among the pages burned
Remember me in the rhyme
And entomb my word behind the glass
Remember when us in forever
And look for me in shades of the past
And I’ll burn for you
And try to grasp them as they drift away
Memories flutter on winds of yesterday
You might just find me among the remains
Remember when we were young
When immortality seemed so sure
Remember when we did not suffer
Now I drift among the pages burned
Remember me in the rhyme
And entomb my word behind the glass
Remember when us in forever
And look for me in shades of the past
And I’ll burn for you
Sift through the ashes of echoed scriptures
If you gaze upon our haunted pictures
What will you find in our graven features
A lost love or the dead face of a creature?
Remember when we were young
When immortality seemed so sure
Remember when we did not suffer
Now I drift among the pages burned
Remember me in the rhyme
And entomb my word behind the glass
Remember when us in forever
And look for me in shades of the past
And I’ll burn for you
I wish I could be there for you
To celebrate the legacy
Of two hearts beating the rhythm
Together as one wrapped in twine
I’ll be there underneath the moon
Enduring all their heresy
Hear me from within the schism
And remember me in the rhyme
Remember when we were young
When immortality seemed so sure
Remember when we did not suffer
Now I drift among the pages burned
Remember me in the rhyme
And entomb my word behind the glass
Remember when us in forever
And look for me in shades of the past
And I’ll burn for you

Oh, my King ... how you are going amiss with
your brilliant ink & poetry
is far beyond me ... such a shame
that you`re the Stephen King of poetry
here & very few know it; I could scream!
Such a chaotic lament embraced in both grief
and passion for how far one will go for another.

"The Stephen King of poetry." High praise indeed. Thank you, my dear Flamma! They always say that poets never get their fame until after death. This is basically an ode to them. My sincerest apologies for the lAte reply.

We are all busy, my King ...
no apologies.
My only regret... I wish more poets
would recognize your talent.

I only post here for the few people, like your wonderful self, that read me. Admittedly, I don't read a bunch of new people here so I can't blame them for not reading me. Facebook, on the other hand i have a sizable following and my reads usually reach 1500 to 2000. So it's all good.

Wow!
Now that is impressive!
Unfortunately I don`t FB, Twitter,
and I rarely Instagram; if I do,
it`s just to promote my book series.
But I am glad to hear that you
have a fan base outside this place.
