Senses Poem by Ella Goodman

I have loved you in full senses
Full aware of the predicaments.
Like a sunflower turning towards the sun
I have beamed towards your glow
And now I am withered after my bloom,
My petals dried in your rays.

Even if you now look back to seek for me,
I will be gone for my days here now are done,
Faded in sunshine, I shall no more revive
To look up to you and smile.

Miles apart our hearts never synched,
Even though I whimpered, you never flinched.
I have nothing to offer to you now-
No youth, no glow,
No light in my soul.

So many things the heart here aspired,
But alas! All that is now a lost dream,
Buried in ruins I will gladly lie;
to unite with the dust and winds.

When I am gone, will you but remember me?
Shed a tear praying in my memory?
Why should you but have such a fate ordained,
To recall my words and lament my being,
I am but a memory not to recall,
This choice was mine not yours.

Illusion it was not my dear,
I had chosen the way sincerely,
I knew I was set on a path to doom,
Sooner or later to melt in the fire of forbidden truth.

I treaded still towards the path,
To glorify my quest if I were to last,
I pondered much and evoked my soul,
To now walk away gladly and fade
Like one among the zillion matters in this universe,
Impalpable to time and feel.
