Think This of Me
photo by Hamed Saber on FLickr photo sharing
If I should die
think this of me
That I tried to see
through your eyes
as you see through mine
In this inside out
blind-leading-blind way
We stumble forward
If I should die
think this of me
What I loved changed you.

love your poem and the picture is awesome, sheer genious and your use of it is only inhanced by your words

I enjoy this poem. I like how the rhythm is a little off, giving us a stumbling effect to go with your topsy-turvy lines, "in this inside out / blind-leading blind way / we stumble forward," and which makes the full and certain stop at the end even more satisfying. Lovely job.

Powerful! Almost a challenge that one life gave quality life to another! A fascinating piece!
