Love Poem: Remember Us

Remember Us

Remember this
   Remember us

If I step
barefoot through chill
of crystal stream
over wisps of green - over clover
where lovers make wishes
on ladybug wings
till lavender lulls to sleep,
I may dream of you, 
I may find your arms.

If I trace
one finger
over your bare back
or rest one hand
upon your chest
to feel your heart beat,
electricity between us
may spark a fire,
I may find my truth.

           I am drawn to you, I am part of you, I am born in you.

Like a river pouring into the ocean,
   my love pours out to you.

I overflow with every drop of water
from earth and sky.
Every mindful cloud releases its rain
so I may feel you more.
Every flame of passion dances in moonlight
for our front row view -

and if
I drown in my love
or burn out,
I will die complete,
        heart flooded in us
        skin-to-skin torched 

When waters recede,
   when flames extinguish,
      remember 
      all I am when
      I am with you.
      
Remember me
    Remember us
