Is it better to forget . . . You?

By Shikiryu

Is it better to forget,
than to remember . . .
the sweet sliver of euphoria, 
awakened by your . . . lingering touch?

Is it better to forget,
than to remember . . .
your exquisite features,
arousing hot, erotic, wanton emotions within me?

Is it better to forget,
than to remember . . .
being enthralled, 
by,
the tranquilic sound of your . . . idyllic laughter?

Is it better to forget,
than to remember . . .
the tantalizing scent of you,
imprinted upon my very being?

Is it better to forget,
than to remember . . .
than to remember the heady taste of those OH. SO. SENSUAL lips?

Is it better to forget,
than to remember . . .
the heartbreak and anguish,
than to remember . . . you, my love?

    A beautiful and tragic poem, the loss of someone, and the love that still lingers. Its very moving and somewhat relateable. Im glad I inspired you and helped you with your writers block. It was a great poem and I cant wait to read more of your works.
