Jax Blog #17 – "Do You Remember?"

Hello Folks,

This poem is about two people in a very long relationship, where one is reaching out to rekindle it as from the start. I'm of that age now, though this was written fourteen years ago. Most of my friends are in that category and are probably making their own new re-evaluation. Whoever and whatever it is, say it with love.

Do You Remember?

Have we grown too old
Do you remember?
When love was a flame
Instead of an ember

Do you recall our start?
That fabulous spark
That made us both tremble
You captured my heart
I wouldn't depart
Till your defenses crumbled

Have I not been bold?
To hold you so tender
Love's ever my aim
I feel the same
Do you remember?

The years show their wear
I know we both care
Yet, down deep is a rumble
To rekindle that spark
The flash in the dark
That thrilled us to tumble

I love you so, dear
These feelings are clear
My heart's ever open
With you I am hopin
Still caught in love's splendor
Have you forgotten?
Come... let us remember

So nice to be in a position of recreating new love from old love.
I wish we could all have that opportunity.

Cheers,
