*and I Remember Poem by Reshma Ramesh

*and I Remember

Rating: 3.4


Do you think I have forgotten?
How just ever so slow your kisses
Unfurl the tender mornings
On a day that doesn’t arrive
All I think about is how
your body glowed
In the moonlit curtains
As you slid against them
Undeserted are my hours
As each one of them
Lonely but ever so much
In remembrance of your
Nascent mood or the arrogant
Tears that outlines your eyes
Those uneasy whispers
You dropped at my foot
The splintered warmth
From your bosom
Even the ruffled faith
Like a broken bamboo
Here I loved you
And I don’t know if it is true
Now I am sad
And you are far away
Absent as the rain
Still as the desert
Never a sign, nor a word
Just like how you lay
In my engulfing arms
Now I remember
Like always

your poem reminds me of Thomas Hood's poem 'I remember, I remember' - the ever memorable line 'Absent as the rain Still as the desert Loved to read the poem at least thrice at a breath
