The Present I remember poem (08-2021, DE) by N.A.A.M. S.N.

The present I remember (08-2021) (Meeting my American soldier)

I have touched you Did you felt the same?

As I felt your man being

Caught me stuck in my lady being Shy I have never felt that shy While the air would not be named clean Fogged up in a pink fog Inhaled what you once inhaled Did you cared?

Pink fog we shared I was there 1st Not in the 4th Not as the 2nd Not as a 3th You were there 1st

I one time looked at a man sitting next to me A gaze One single gaze How to describe?

Ancient tribes came alive?

One single gaze?

Stuck in a lost shared past?

Dreams we ever had?

To be alone Together?

Confused as I am New York and Hurricane Henri shared a past with mine I sat in a train towards French wine

We were sitting there close to each other He was older I was younger But old enough to write about love through a gaze Wise enough as I have given new life and love to nature Mistakes I can make I accept and so Nature does The skies still cry on Mistakes the darkness made I never can erase My rhyme goes on here forever to understand why Why the innocent should die ?

Love We have touched

A simple touch Our eyes or voice, our breath or our knees it was Remember?

How less do I know?

But also how or what it should be like?

Without men like these on this planet?

Protecting me from a shadow's appearance?

Protecting Human Kind And so my mind?

What is a lady without a man?

It is because of the present I remember With you Once before I felt Love I know for sure

Decades later I still feel it too, for real.

I pass i hope some new science over to you my possible friends.

With empathy.
