“Memories Of Your Beauty”

I remember you
because you are beautiful,

because you are human
in the chaotic world we live in,
as your intense light blinds my soul.

I remember you
because of your compassionate heart,

because you burn
with the intensity of a thousand suns,
warming our existence with your courage.

I remember you
because you make me feel human,

in this cruel world
where humanity sometimes falters,
fading like a lingering, haunting memory.

I remember you
because you are rhyme and reason,

because your heart
guides you to greater things,
to a sincere place called life’s beauty.
