I Take With Me A Memory Poem by Martino Fortuin

I take with me this memory
Of having loved a while.
Returning energy ruptured, restless, raw
An empty heart
To you,
Sadly

On a path we once cajoled
Side by side…
For I felt free
My heart escaped
With thee,
joyously.

And there we lived but brief
Nay, a thousand pleasant lives.
Beauty bliss beyond belief
Knowing that we
Can be,
ultimately.

If love will find a way
Let us chance it soon.
Thence to table turn
Take your hand.
Love me,
again.

How I wish upon that star
To hold you ever tight.
Lovingly live our life
Every day, night
You, me
Eternally.

I take with me this memory
Of loving you a lot.
