Remember me My Elysee In the low hours When you are weak And have lowered Your powerful barriers For it's then I can only be seen Remember me As that tsunami of furious fire That once reenergized you In those dark years When you were alone and tired To be wholly free Remember me By looking at my picture Your now favourite Black and white one I sent you As my holy scripture That you'll only need Remember me when you are old Standing brightly as the early morning sun In the darkness of old age Even though your beloved memories are getting cold Before God turns your page So you can fade away To join me As the hours and seconds Run away Remember me So I may stay In some strange spiritual way To give you comfort Until you too are recalled To float away Someday Remember me My poetic love So I can come to you In dreams Walking down to find you Through the ethereal blue rivers and green Underground streams To reach you to swim Together Reunited In the Holy Sea Until the early morning sunrise Remember me As your true spiritual devotion Who you never met in physical flesh But one Who wrote down In his pre-life road map With his spirit guide In another Far away nation "I want to meet someone so extraordinary Someone worldwide Who will show me such poetic wonders" "That my heart will open up its velvety doors and ask to be possessed as it pleads to confess Before I once more walk In these heavenly tides Of the Holy Sea" And then I suddenly met you Mesmerised By all I could see So that's why I pray For you Each night So you'll remember me As I wait here Walking barefoot and alone In the swirling tides Of The Holy Sea Waiting for the one I once wrote down before I was born Now known As Elysee The only one I'll ever need (C) Copyright John Duffy
