I Remember Love Again
I remember love
it doesn't seem so long ago
that it greeted me
and went unrecognized at first.
It took me in its confidence
and touched my very soul
with unfamiliar needs and wants
that tingled every fiber of my being.
I remember love
it took my very breath away
and pounded the heart beat in my breast
with just a look, a simple touch.
It sapped me of all my strength
stealing away all but its presence
that breached the gap of self and other
burning hot with unquenchable desires.
I remember love
how its feelings and emotions rose
in palpable touches and caresses
satiated only by the one.
It remains a questioned wonder
as to how and why it fades over time
gets lost and pushed aside by the daily grind
and gives in to lesser needs.
I remember love
as if it were yesterday
when two hearts held each other
unconditionally bound as one.
It is the emptiness that follows I dislike
the heartache, tears and loneliness
that comes from its loss in forgetting
the moments that gave it birth.
