The Idea Of Forgetting Poem by lalitha iyer

past many faces
I walk through
past many meadows
with evergreen trees

how many helloes
handshakes and more
yet, some undying faces
they kiss your memories

to leave their imprint
the kisses of warm
and touches soft
tenderly telling the heart's thought

I found in YOu
some signs of life
your eyes spared me
some familiar sights.

I found a friend in you
a harmony that helped me
to resurface and stand against
yes, I know you before I saw you.

How could I forget you
my genes have encoded
your form into mine
How could I forget
what is beyond mine...
