Memories greater than Gold


The further away
your face from mine fades,
more fervently I wish I knew:

Which cruel moon imbued me with such agony,
I would choose chains of bone
and shear my fragile wings?

To tread the dust resigned,
divorced from vast empyrean.
The treasures slow diminish,
Spent to discern distances.

Walking the path forged,
wondering whose luminous feet
burning from heaven's furnace
etched the loops of trail
and composed a starry gap?

Between an amber hand and coals a-glow,
dappled shade defends the two.
Closeness culled by swirls of shadow,
guardians o'erwatching you.

I know my shackled ring of a body;
I know gold's limited guile.
I still would give all for the blessing and curse
Of the memory of our short while.

Sort:  

Beautiful etheric poetry. It suggests that the soul keeps memories of other times when it had a sublime love that went to another plane. He longs for the meeting and flying in meditation or dream, he approaches the desired. But, the shadow of time and space weighs, anchoring the soul in the physical body.

Sometimes, we can not move on with the some wonderful and pleasant memories. Level of commitment and attachment in the case of true love is such a kinda feelings which is matchless. There could be several precious things in the entire world but spending time with your lover is one of the best times of your life!

I still would give all for the blessing and curse
Of the memory of our short while

Beautiful work! That poetry reaches you to the soul, touches your bones, makes you feel the feelings of the artist who writes

This beautiful poem brings back memories. Years ago I heard this song by Domenico Modugno

the distance is like the wind
turn off the small fire, but light the big fire ...
the distance is like the wind
it takes with time a forgetfulness
a year has passed is a fire
that burns my soul

What beautiful memories.

Some memories are worth more than the treasures of the world.
If we put our busyness aside and focus on making memories with our loved ones, surely we will be leaving them with something worth more than a gold chest.
Thanks for sharing and nice picture collections too
