Come With Me to A Girl Never Forgets 
Some memories are delight 
Some memories are a fright 


Come With Me (poem)

A memory
Returns to me
Again to see
What used to be
Come lay with me
Come stay with me
-
Into this light
My soul took flight
A past delight
Did there ignite
Come lay with me
Come stray with me
-
A heartfelt hue
That once we knew
Returns to view
Our Joyous dew
Come lay with me
Come sway with me
-
And soon came moon
To add its tune
As lips commune
Made lovers swoon
Come lay with me
Come pray with me
-
For don�t you see
My memory
You came to be
A dream set free
You laid with me
You stayed with me 


A lover drifts in a moment in this poem. This is a form of a lyrical poem.  The first four lines of each stanza uses close rhymes intended to inter-mesh. Lines five and six have two rhymes (if we consider "me" rhymes with "me"). The real rhymes on lines five and six are on the second beat. Notice that the rhymes the last stanza is similar to the first. Is there a reason for this? 

It's no secret, I'm a kissing fool. The best kiss of my life was the one after I walked Arlene home from our first dance. The next most memorable kisses where at the Disneyland Resort during our honeymoon. It was more than our very special occasion. It was more than the perfection of the day. The air was alive with the scent of jasmine. It was so beautiful that it was intoxicating. Imagine: kissing Arlene in the moonlight wrapped in the magic of jasmine. Skip ahead. Arlene and I were touring Savannah. Georgia. Savannah is a beautiful City. Our original itinerary was changed by the bellman of the hotel we were staying at. Through him, Savannah was opened up. Or was it the jasmine? We didn't know it back then, Savannah was noted for its jasmine. It was everywhere. It was intoxicating. Was the city really so beautiful. or was it Arlene or was it the jasmine? The nights were once more filled with the moonlight, the fantasy of jasmine and kissing Arlene. Let's skip ahead again. When we rented a house, I planted jasmine in the garden. The sweet little flowers were beautiful, but the scent, though everywhere, was not Savannah or Disneyland. Perhaps we were too close to the ocean. Arlene and I bought a house. Only small wire fences separates us from our neighbors. I decorated these with jasmine. Then came the hot summer nights. Imagine me under the moonlight, kissing Arlene, caught in the wonder of jasmine.

Such is the world we live in. Wonder, fantasy, magic are all around us. It is different for each of us. It is not limited to a few things. They are every where and in everything. Consider a baby. Everything is new and fascinating to a baby.  Then we grow older and use to things. Some things gain a special place in our heart, mind, soul or in our being. Even these treasures are subject to change. I remember being a parent. I was blessed to see the world through my children's eyes. The wonders are still there. A drop of water with a rainbow within it; Which can change the perspective of the world; Which can hold life in it and may be the source of life; which joined with other drops may form a river; And so on and on. Is a computer more fascinating than this drop of water? So is the sunrise. the birds singing, the scent of jasmine, a friendly smile, the world. Take it in.  It is there for us. Live our life to the fullest. Take every moment and Enjoy.


Back to the poem: Snow Patrol "Chasing Cars" 

On the subject of memory 


Researchers still don't fully understand exactly how you remember or what occurs during recall. The process of memory begins with encoding, then proceeds to storage and, eventually, retrieval. It has been proven that women generally do have better memories than men. To help illustrate this are Anwar Jibawi, Inanna Sarkis and Hannah Stocking. 
Maybe there are a few more factors. "GIRLS NEVER FORGET | Anwar Jibawi, Inanna Sarkis & Hannah Stocking"

There are those moments of life that I'll always remember. 
Not because they were important but because you were 
there with me.
