Elephant Memory I remember us when we laid in midnight’s grass counting stars twined in life’s sweetest breath with pulses pressed to an ethereal kiss I remember us walking among the heather making love with words and whispered dreams like translucent beads of thought I wish not to remember the echoes of your breath your touch, your eyes but how can I forget the day you left me with unraveled threads that once held me together? I still wear your heart like a withered rose clinging to the vine I am cursed with too much memory my mind is clenched against the sorrow |

Very emotional impact on me Cheyenne - First verse introduces the reader to what was - and choice of verbiage stands out - "Ethereal kiss" - touches my heart - The bond of true love is the focus yet the sorrow that follows is quietly placed without the anger written in a lot of styles of poetry over a great loss.
It's soothing, it's heartbreaking and to wear your heart like a withered rose clinging to the vine stands out - knowing all too well that it's just there - barely hanging on - but holding one none the less.
It caps off with something I've never encountered with poetry related to sorrow - "cursed with too much memory" is true -
We remember so much - and as your title fits this poems - Elephants never forget -
