Glopowrimo for day 18

Glopowrimo for day 18
Poetry to music
Tagore's Tobu Mone Rekho...(Even so Remember me. )

Let me forget
That we shared
Company
And
Let us bring this
To a closure
Do not be afraid
To forget.

Whether I am
Far or near
Forgotten or dear

Old song
Hummed anew
Under your
Breath
Lyrics forgotten
The tune fades
In your head

Let me forget
That you don't recall
Remembering me
Remember nothing
At all. 

Let me forget
That it's bound to be
Forget me
Yet
In forgetting
Freeze our
Forgotten flame
In forgetting
Remember
Remember me.

Let our tears kiss
Oblivion
On the lashes
Of tomorrow.

Let work permit
Movement to
Strange shores

Let memory become
A wound
Rankling
In a dream

Let me forget
That you have forgotten me

Let your last thoughts
Of me
Be
A lovely primal scream

Forget me
If you will
Forget me not
In that final moment
Before memory
Goes still
