You Remain
As a perfume doth remain
In the folds where it hath lain,
So the thought of you, remaining
Deeply folded in my brain,
Will not leave me; all things leave me -
You remain.
Other thoughts may come and go,
Other moments I may know
That shall waft me, in their going,
As a breath blown to and fro,
Fragrant memories; fragrant memories
Come and go.
Only thoughts of you remain
In my heart where they have lain,
Perfumed thoughts of you, remaining,
A hid sweetness, in my brain.
Others leave me; all things leave me -
You remain.

"You Remain" touched my soul! Beautiful words of Arthur Symons almost lyrical, lingers on my mind and inspires me to share an anonymous piece with you.
Moment
For a moment or two
I am a poet,
For a moment or two
my life becomes a story,
I'm happy,
For a moment or two I am young.
There were many poets before me
who have come and gone,
Some have embraced the world and left,
Others have left a few poems to embrace,
I am here for a while they were here for a while,the world has its problems,
why would it remember me why would it waste time, thinking of me.
We now have to go
our separate ways,
Lead our own separate lives,
Whomsoever you give your love to,
whomsoever I give my love to,
To them we will give all that, we would have given to each other.
Dear Anonymous,
Thank you for visiting and commenting.
Your poem, "Moment" is very welcomed here. It befits the posted article's mood and content and has much touching and grace to offer.
Interesting how we can observe any act from a different view, angle and perspective but arrive at the same feelings.
Thank you very much for sharing yours with my blog readers & I.
