"Immortalizing"

@Uootem

Words once shared
by boy and girl
Suddenly stolen by time
and discarded by adulthood
Alas, the lack of remembering is brutal
To the heart that cherishes the moments spent;
It is with the language of this lonely silence that
My soul engages each work of poetry.

I have lost track of the coveted warmness
That existed between the two;
As if it has escaped mind's ownership,
Or succumbed
to the altering shapes of this day,
I have no way of knowing which.

The memories remain still as they
Join our past youthfulness in abated sighs
As the finishing touches of each verse complete
The visions that make for so much dreaming,
And colorless recollection
catches my attention.
The world of lost love's memory has engulfed me
And I indulge in my inconspicuous insignificance...

It is a sainted hour,
this time of reflection;
The emotions that lie dormant come to give me
Blessed embrace...
even as I watch for an serendipity contact.

This moment my heart is free;
it frolics in the midst
Of a sphere of promised love...
forgetting that hope does not exist.

This moment I search
for more holy ground in my mind
And I glance at the heaven she brought
when love was real.

My thoughts shaped
from shadowed mist-like silhouettes
Are released to soar on a future hope...
My mind, my heart envies,
for it touches her again
Memories are such potent friends....
A canvass of thought form transforms
With the advent of her illumination,
The recollection of her eyes;
Colorful shades
and shapes emerge
To paint a picture
of her magnificent splendor

As I immortalize her in words.
