Fingerprints

[spally]

Never the same, never even twice
The mark is ever changing
Feeling never quite right
A fingerprint upon the sand
Washed away never comes back
But upon my heart it will for ever stay
Time changes faces, places, and more
But still my heart will forever remember yours
While in time forgotten might be memories
Feelings, scents, a caress will never fade
Timeless, unique, your own
Your print will always be there
Like my heart beat
Ever steady
Ever present
So our time together how ever fleeting
Will be our own

Hi Spally
loved the metaphor of the fingerprint on the heart. The uniqueness to you and your memory and the whole feel of your poem.
Think you may have meant washed away instead of way on line 5.
best wishes
Jerry
