What totally amazes me is the simplicity of the words.
Quite surprising that it was fairly simple to understand, seeing it came from a Victorian poet.
Or maybe the words are supposed to mean something deeper than what I interpret.
But then, a poem like this, though the words are simple, the interpretation and the emotions that evoke from it, really depends on the reader’s personal experiences and life circumstances, does it not?

I was pretty intrigued by this poem, so I went to Google on the author. Guess what I found… Apparently, this Christina Rossetti person is famous for another poem titled “Goblin Market”, which is supposedly about two sisters who get tricked by some goblins into eating some forbidden fruit. Before you start spinning connections to Harry Potter, Enid Blyton, Lord of the Rings, and all other fairytale writers….

Get this: This poem actually carries sexual connotations!!!

Shocking.

How can anyone who can pen down a poem as pure as “Remember” also write something so controversial, perverted even!!
The extremes that people can go to.

And I was actually contemplating of having this poem read at my funeral.

Morbid right? haha...

But now after finding about the other poem written from the same hand, I guess I'll have to find another poem.
