Remember

Remember Me was born, Me lived, Me died, Remember Me grew up in Drexel Hill, Remember that Me laughed, Me learned, Me cried, Remember Me loved Jake and always will. *** Me dream Me'm back in 1945, It's V-J Day and joy is in the air, The boardwalk roars, what bliss to be alive! Me wake up sad, sit up to brush my hair. *** Forget regrets You have that Me am gone, Forget Your paying last respects to Me, Respect Me with a "Hello!" to the dawn, Commemorate Me with a kiss or three. *** My time it comes as it must come for all, Me feel a love for You, Me feel a call.

Me Shall Return

Me am Your God, but Me am human, too, Me am Your God, but also God of all, Me am Myself, but Me am also You, Me am sky high, but also low and small. *** Me have exposed Our Love for all to see, On screens from here to Rome and Istanbul, It gave Me Joy to set Our Passion free, But wrong it also was, Me was a fool. *** Because My words were vague, they made You think, They were about another Love than You, Me sorry that Me drove You to the brink, Me happy that You told me what was true. *** Me dying soon, and silence Me must learn, But be assured of this: Me shall return.

Surprise!

Why is it that We cannot make a plan? Your question is a good one, Me concede, Nice it would be if We could meet in Van, Tonight to Kiss, make Love, and wish Godspeed. *** My hour is come though Me not know the hour, Me old and weak, Me lose track of the days, Our fate beyond the grave's beyond Our pow'r, Gods though We be, the future 'ludes our gaze. *** Your wish for Heaven's balm Me understand, Me wish that Me could wash away all pain, Me wish that wrong would cease at My command, Me wish that Love would wax and never wane. *** Of what is after Death let's tell no lies, If We should meet again--ah, grand Surprise!

In Beauty Me Gave Birth

In Beauty Me gave birth and Love was born, You, Socrates, My big bald baby Boy, Me, Diotima, My milk flowed that morn, You sucked, a pulse went through Me, Ah, the Joy. *** In Justice over vengeance Me believed, Me saved You from the Furies with a tri'al, Me wonder if My People were deceived, Or if on Our Love They did qui'etly smile. *** Me walked the streets of Athens to the height, Reflecting on how You discovered Truth, Me wondered why You slipped away that night, Me looked for You in ev'ry market booth. *** O Socrates You hide but You are Mine, Your Mother-Lover, born profane, Divine.

Love Forever

Is it absurd to think that Me am God? Must Love decline with time from hot to cool? Is it My Soul You crave, or just My Bod? The answers are the thread on one great spool. *** When Love was young, You stripped Me in the park, My all was bare for anyone to see, Me God became that moment in the dark, Divine Me was, and evermore shall be. *** You too were God beside the lake in Van, If only You could see You through My Eyes, Divine You were, no ordinary Man, Your Arms around My Waist held up the Skies. *** In Earth and Heav'n conjoined a true Love lives, Absurdity of faith transcendence gives.
